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.
