Why is it so uncommon for good middle-grade books to get proper video game adaptations? Picrel is the only good one.

>>727508582The vast majority don’t get enough attention for a developer to take the risk. It’s a pity, because something like Sabriel or the Edge Chronicles would make great games

Artemis Fowl tended to get a lot more play and I can certainly attest to having read every one of those cover to cover before I turned 13. Why is that?

>>727508582Because back then you had capable devs who were passionate about their game and the material it's based on. It was the golden era of film and book vidya adaptions.Now devs are just brown NPC's who simply are ordered to follow a generic template.It's how asscreed got turned into a generic half assed "ARPG" where you can't even assassinate a target with your hidden blade because he's 2 levels higher or some shit.Look at the retarded clusterfuck that is the PoP Sands of Time remake.
