Mass Effect is officially getting a TV adaptation at Amazon

It's been a good few years since reports surfaced Amazon was looking to adapt Mass Effect for television, but finally -…

One person probably not excited about a Mass Effect TV series is ex-Bioware lead writer David Gaider, who previously said the idea of BioWare television adaptations made him "cringe". Boom, right off the bat you've just alienated a whole bunch of the built-in fan base who had their hopes up... Secondly, those protagonists are designed to be a bit of a blank slate, one that the player fills out with their decisions. "Take all that out, lose most of the companions, and you potentially end up with... a pretty run-of-the-mill fantasy or science-fiction show, one where a lot of the built-in audience has possibly been turned into outraged, howling malcontents before it's even released."
