The annoying thing for me is that there are plenty of games out there with a decent enough plot to base a movie directly on with a few abbreviations or minor changes, keeping the setting and characters, but no director seems to want to do that. Instead, they want writing freedom, and would rather have their own damned "alternate reality" storyline set in the same universes as the games with their own characters.

That's not the issue. The problem is that most directors basically try to recreate the game, and no director has yet realised that this is the completely wrong approach. What they should really be doing is making a movie so go alongside the games, a movie that actually works as a movie. Much in the same way that Resident Evil: Degeneration and Damnation did.
