Very easy to do a shamble in the eyes of fans, very hard to attract other people who didnt play the games.

As a counterpoint, look at the massive cross cultural success of the Last Of Us on HBO. My SO never played the games, nor heard of them, yet loved the show quite dearly, saying multiple times to anyone who would listen that its one of the best TV shows of all time she's ever seen, and it takes alot to get that kind of praise from her.

I don't know anyone under 35 who likes that show
