I know and it's a shame. Games should always be experienced the way they were intended to. I doubt there's been a study on it but surely more film workers watch the movies they make than game developers play the games that they made? Even if games are a massive industry now and Grand Theft Auto...

Has it been confirmed that she actually did play it. though? I know that writers sometimes don't play the games they work on, which would be a shame if you worked on the greatest game of all time. Or now!

Tangentially related: when the game Battletech was translated into German, the licenser decided to localize all the unit names for some reason. Now there's also a vehicle called the Behemoth whose name was changed, apparently, to Koloss (Colossus). So it's something that seems to be relatively...

I'm looking forward to seeing Humphrey Bogart on screen!
