There’s a strange feeling that comes when a game you’ve spent time in is preparing to disappear. Recently, I revisited trailers and lore videos for Anthem, a game known as much for its ambitious worldbuilding as for its complicated history.

In the past decade or just over time there have a been adaptations of literature, comic books and graphic novels (yes, there is a big difference between the two) and when productions are release either theatrically or online or hard copy there will be a divide on the film adaptation.
