    #1reasonwhy because as far as I know no one is working on a 50 Shades of Grey AAA game. Seriously industry. You would break it wide open.

        @avantgame and no one should be, good lord. You couldnt have picked a more misogynistic book, but I guess you're just being "topical"

        @Abdo have you READ the series??? it's so far from misogynistic. it's not even real S & M. the main character is spunky and doesn't behave

        @avantgame I am not thrilled by the writing quality of the book(s), but a Walking Dead-style game for 50 Shades could change. The. Industry.

        @twoscooters yeah so the writing is awful but when you have the #1 bestselling book of all time w/audience 99% women, I see a bridge :)

        @avantgame as opposed to Hunger Games, which is seemingly built for adaptation from the ground up.

        @StratfordX Hunger Games would be easier to adapt b/c it's about killing. I'm saying I want a nice big game not about killing :)

        @avantgame 0151ET I would think such a game, with all of the problems you're discussing via #1reasonwhy, would be a misogynist fantasy.

        @avantgame it's softcore porn--not sketch comedy raunchy or shock value (Saints Row/GTA). Where's the hook.

        @avantgame I love your positivity and vision. I have difficulty seeing how such a game might work, but definitely be interested to see tho.

        @avantgame wife & I discussing this. Eg Twilight books sold squillions. Movies a pale shadow. And if they made a game it’d be about fighting
