Good. We don't need a bunch of shitty series that don't even wrap up before Netflix cancels them.

Reading between the lines: Xbox doesn't need the money?
I don't care about adaptations. Stephen King taught me that with Under the Dome. He knew it was gonna suck, and cut off the haters by saying something like "if you don't like the direction the show takes, remember that the original is right where you left it." Worth noting, Under the Dome's ending sucked, and I'm talking about the book. But right up until that, it was better than the show, which started sucking a lot sooner. I think King had the idea for a small town encased within an impenetrable transparent dome when he was high and never really planned it out. He had the idea in the 1970s but wouldn't write it for another 30 years. King doesn't keep notebooks — he says ideas that don't survive in the writer's mind don't deserve to get written. That's one he should have forgotten. That and Cell right along with it. But anyway — don't hold the shitty Halo series against the games. The games are still their own thing. Likewise, while the Fallout and Cyberpunk adaptations were good, and brought in new players, and they do somewhat influence the games... if you didn't like them, the games are still just right there.
In short, Xbox should have taken the money. Who cares if non-gamers get in on the story, too?
