Today I found a crazy article no doubt written by underage teenage girls (its okay to click that second link--it just brings you to the same article...or does it?).
...
Yes it does.
The article brings up two points--the first of which is that ANYTHING, given enough hype, can be turned into a game. Remember E.T.?That by no means implies that the game is worth playing. Just because you have a satchel full of money-making ideas does not mean that you should act on every one of them--thats how scams like Amway occur--and trust me, it IS a scam.
The article points out that movie-based games typically (and by that we mean ALWAYS) get terrible reviews from game critics and generally favorable acceptance from fans. This is misleading because it is based solely on sales in the later case--any acceptance that occurs is just the fanbase going out to buy the game before they realize it sucks and return it. And besides, who are you going to trust on a game? A professional or an opinionated fanatic (who has probably played the game on her Twilight beanbag chair after washing her hair with her Twilight shampoo).
To tell the truth, most fans that DO give a damn about where their hard-earned money goes actually end up loathing franchises that submit terrible games. When the shareholders wonder where the fanbase is later on when sequels turn up, they try to rationalize where they went--the answer is met with angry backlash. Its like taking a delicious cheesecake and sticking your dick in it. You can explain the reasons why you did it all you want, but noone will care because you stuck your dick in it.
