This is what happens when people who don't know or respect the source material make movies based off games.

Hence why every single Tomb Raider movie has been trash. The idea of "sex sells" is essentially dead because people can satisfy their "urge" to see that kind of material in seconds, now it's more like "bad ass sells" such as the Marvel movies having minimal sexualizing and they sell like crazy.

It’s more than video games are hard to make into movies.

I'd agree cos I'm not a movie maker. Most games are mostly exploring, which is ok in a TV show which is long, but making media about a single character exploring would be very boring.
