One more thing for me to add that I just found a bit interesting after thinking about it:
People pay $70 for glorified movies in video game format. I know I just wanted to see the story of Knights of the Old Republic more than anything when I was a little kid and playing it. Not diminishing anything about games, I'm just talking about the market economics now haha, I know these are games and we can't just say $70 for this vs $20 for a 1.5h movie, but there is absolutely a market incentive for these types of films to be made. They are cheap alternatives (and better for the environment) to video game movies. Think high quality actual plays of story rich video games.
People love the stories of MGS as well, and that series might as well be just be a movie , I "watched" all of metal gear solid on YouTube because I don't have a PlayStation growing up. I would love for an eevee version of all of those cutscenes, and I'm sure others would and probably pay for that—I'd throw $10 at that I think instead of having to play through all of it now that I'm in my 30s
