I was thinking, why did Lorne have to start Oddworld off as a game series? If he'd have done it the sane way, book or movie first, I'd probably be watching a quintology movie, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and then polishing it off with a Star Wars geekout at the local cineplex a few days from now. He went the game way, let his vision be compromised with Munch's Oddysee, and just took everyone's bullshit. After Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath I just don't think he has the sauce, the street cred, to pull off a movie. Period. Not even a movie that sucks.

Because they started work on the games before Toy Story, before there was a recognised market for CG movies and when costs would be way higher. It would have been unfeasable to create movies at the time so the made the games in order to develop a fanbase and IP to then transfer to the movies.
