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
