There are plenty of spin offs and tie ins but not adaptations (save for Lego) for some reason. Obviously this isn't the case for the reverse.

The fuck you talking about? There are tons of video games adapted from movies. Like so many it was literally a meme in the 90s. And they were usually fucking terrible.

So many things on this list are directly copying the plot beats of the movies they are based on if not straight up just a playable version of the film.

And then you have crap like League of Legends that doesn't even try to follow the plot or visual design of Arcane.

What were they thinking??
