"I'm not a Gamer and thats fine" God Of War Amazon Series Director says he stopped playing the game cause he couldnt understand it.

The God Of War show doesnt seem to be promising

TL;DR

• Ronald D. Moore, the new God of War showrunner, admitted he’s not a gamer and couldn’t figure out the game’s controllers.

• Fan Reaction: Fans are bummed, with one X user saying, “the way my smile faded after reading that second sentence” (@nuggetprime1993).

• Adapting a game without gaming passion risks a flop.

• Moore needs to team up with game experts to nail the God of War vibe.

What’s the Buzz?

Amazon's God of War series just received two seasons greenlit, with showrunner Ronald D. Moore. Chilly, huh? Wait a minute. Moore had some sobering news to share: “I attempted to play the games—but quit when I couldn’t master new controllers—‘I’m not a gamer’” said in a recent podcast: source

Why Gaming Passion Counts

There are fans of God of War's dark nature. When Moore said he’s not a gamer (Kotaku), that was a gut blow. Folks were voicing concern on Reddit, with hundreds of posts voicing concern (r/GodofWar). They desire an adaptation that is true to the game—not just another action franchise.

If Moore doesn't lose himself within God of War's world, the series is ruined. Take Halo—a total letdown to fans. Without understanding of the game's tone and narrative, Kratos can become merely some rage-filled dude, not the complex character we love. That's a recipe for fan outrage and a series failure.
