To be fair, Avril Lavigne signed away the movie rights to Sk8ter Boi to Paramount in 2003, and we still don't have that movie.

Selling IP rights into another medium is not the same as a guarantee that it will be developed (though it is a first step).

How would one make a TV show out of DRG? I would hope it would be animated.

"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" but it's dorfs in space

I could see it working as an animated "job of the week" sitcom style show about a team of DRG miners. There's nothing about DRG that ties it too strongly to the concept though. You could just make a show about space dwarves without any mention of DRG, might even be easier without whatever "lore" the game has in place (I like the game a lot, but if there's a story I haven't found it).

There's deep lore theory about karl and a glypid queen but nothing concrete

With a lot of rock and some stone!

My guess it would be like the roughnecks cartoon.

I don't feel like DRG needs it... but yeah, of course I want it!
