    Yeah, but wanting to replicate something and knowing how are two very different things. Then there’s the money maths they’ll have to do blind, throwing down a budget trying to gauge that it’ll be worth it in the product.

    So far Fallout is the exception, not the rule. Most likely we’d see a mediocre to insufficient budget bang out something equally mediocre and they’d make some money off it and it would end there.

      Maybe, but X-Files and Stargate SG1 were both started on a pretty low budget and turned into huge money makers for many years.

      I really do believe that people who love the source material and actually have passion for a project will make something genuinely good. All these shows that have been game adaptions that were bad were because the people working on it didn’t love it and didnt respect it. And the ones that are successful are the opposite. Perhaps you have an example of a show adaptation that was genuinely bad, but the people working on it loved and respected the source material?
