because a video game movie can rarely evoke the emotions as felt in the video game medium. what I think is that they tried so far to adapt games with a protagonist, which just fall flats when you are not in control. a war movie inspired to some strategy franchise where they set up the scene to the game events would fare much much better because the audience would already care about the world as opposed as to a single non interactive character.
