    I'm just saying that *I* personally would relish the creative and crazy challenge of turning 50 Shades into a AAA game. #1reasonwhy

        @avantgame It's a huge achievement for what I would have thought was a niche book. Hunger Games had a game tie in, why not 50 Shades.

        @avantgame no direct player violence, 'shoot' footage to tell story. Pro one side / pro the other side / or the truth.
