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

I mean like why hasn't he done something like Borderlands? Surely he would have done a better job than Eli Roth even with a bad script.

He knows he can't top the master, Uwe Boll

I was shocked to find his highest rated movie was Postal. Maybe not that shocked, since it's actually kinda good. At least, strictly as a comedy; didn't follow the game at all. But it's not like the game has a real story, either lol

It was a terrible movie, and the book wasn't much better.

There used to be stories (not sure how many were true) of him going to events like E3, Tokyo Game Show, Gamescom, and other developer-centric game conventions.

He also was a key figure / contributor in some old school PC adventure games like Indiana Jones from waaaaay back in the day.

I used to be kbm exclusive but there have been some pretty good controller improvements made over the years, things like hotkey layers in Skyrim UI mods or the final fantasy MMO giving dozens of unique hotkeys on a controller, and new hardware with back buttons and shoulder buttons that keep both thumbs on the thumbsticks. Can't beat mouse for precision, but there are tradeoffs for that.

Steam Controller and Steam Deck converted me to controller. Trackpads and touch activated gyroscope are complete game changers. I still can't play first person games with a thumbstick though.

Mouse for aim, wii nunchuck for movement.

I like playing shooter's with m&k, str games too. I know for example in Apex, lot's of pro players une a controller.

But 3rd person games feel somehow much better with a controller. I'm not sure how uncharted, or HZD would play on Mouse and Keyboard.

Yeah my steam input configs are crazy

I have a whole system for desktop navigation which I've grown to really like

I've recently taken to using touchpad touch as a button chord modifier and it is soo nice.
