I think the episode started off pretty poorly, with exposition being shoved down our throats in the most inelegant way possible, but it did get more interesting over time. I’ll keep watching for now, but I’m definitely concerned that the writing won’t be able to able to keep up with the visuals.

To be clear, I meant that that is why Edgerunners worked for me; having already experienced a story through a visual medium, I have near-zero interest of a movie or show adaptation.
I don’t think it’s fair to say the shows you listed are bad because their stories differ from the games. They failed to respect the source material. Instead of telling a story in the universe of these games, they hit the universe with hammers and told a story in the result. The Witcher show is a book adaptation that started out mediocre and progressively got worse as it became apparent that they didn’t care about the source material.
Edgerunners works because they told a story in the universe rather than the story of the game, and because of the studio chosen to handle it. I’ve never heard of this studio before, but I have already played the game.
What a reprehensible, disingenuous representation of what he actually said. I’m not a fan of the guy, but PC Gamer is trash as well. Scary to see how people here are reacting just because it’s about X and AI.
