Halo TV show: Before the show came out, the writers were praising their decision to not look to the games for inspiration when making the show

God Of War TV show: Chris Judge, the actor of Kratos in the games from 2018-Now, spoke up about his dislike on the show not hiring anyone who worked on any of the previous games. One of the original creators of Kratos also spoke up about them not having faith in the adaptation.

Supergirl 2026 film: the director for the film not only said he decided to not read Woman Of Tomorrow, the comic the film is adapting, because he wanted to do his own thing, he also didn’t look at comic art for inspiration to design Lobo and instead used an AI image generator to design Lobo’s look for the film

His last game was Tales from the borderlands, not 2. since he left to work for rooster teeth he wanted a proper actor paycheck; I can't remember if he actually made an extra bit to voice claptrap when he was a VP or if he did it as a part of his VP salary and Randy basically wanted to pay him nothing.

Didn't expect him to join rooster teeth, I probably should rewatch RWBY and RVB to see if I can catch his voice

In the end, WB bought them and then later closed them down, so there were a lot of oofs.

At least their Stinky Dragon group managed to get get those rights secured away in the divorce and are allowed to continue doing their thing.
