How come Steven Spielberg hasn't done a video game movie? I envision a heartwarming tale of a young boy befriending a Strogg from Quake by giving it Reece's Pieces.

I mean... It's about video games, kinda. But I wouldn't call it a video game movie considering it's based on a book not a video game lol

I mean like why hasn't he done something like Borderlands? Surely he would have done a better job than Eli Roth even with a bad script.

I was shocked to find his highest rated movie was Postal. Maybe not that shocked, since it's actually kinda good. At least, strictly as a comedy; didn't follow the game at all. But it's not like the game has a real story, either lol

It was a terrible movie, and the book wasn't much better.
