How long until they start doing "Video game bio-pics"?
>>221475961never since video games are not art
Like wide release? Never. There's plenty on youtube tho
there's nothing interesting. game devs are all angry seethers, but not in a way that creates entertaining drama. Pirates of Silicon Valley is as close as it gets.
>>221475961>mostly white male video game studioThis would be cast in the most hilarious fashion. Carmack would be a groid and Romero would be a chick.
>>221475961Reminder that these guys were so based that they released the source code for doom so that other developers would innovate and be inspired to create new games.

>>221475961Rogen's been threatening a Console Wars movie for how many years now?The big issue is that most of these stories have nothing salacious. Middle class (and higher) nerds developing games in their bedrooms and eventually building that into a business isn't hugely captivating.
>>221475961There is no famous indian actor who could play Romero. Bobby Sixkiller must be like 70 years old.
>>221475961Not sure there's a market for it.You gotta remember, all modern media is made for the middle aged lady who sits next to you at work.I'm not sure they'd be totally into a biopic about the rise and fall of Id Software.
they'd have to add in random black women or something onto the dev team for doom and quake and what not
>>221477683>john you've been stuck on that code for weeks, maybe you should take a few days off. >yeah man, i guess. this place is a mess anyway, should probably let the cleaning lady work in peace. >it's all yours miss la'sahquita gonzalez, sorry we left the place in such a mess. >it no problem mr. john, i clean up over weekend. *monday morning*>john! you fricking did it!! i thought you took the weekend off?!? >i-i did, what are you talking about? >you didn't make this groundbreaking new game "doom" over the weekend?>n-no.. woah look at this code. this is way beyond my skills. >ohhh mr. john i see you work on problem when i clean up, i help a bit. i hope that ok.
>>221477648the biopic would just be 90 minutes of a guy in cargo shorts explaining shareware numbers to a bored studio exec and then hard cut to him posting like this 30 years lateractual drama was all publisher/accounting shit, coke, egos, lawsuits, and "we spent 4 years making a dogshit engine" which is funny for a youtube doc but not a movie normies would pay to see.
