First of all: Movies are terrible at telling stories. Books are the real master race.
Second of all: Try fitting Final Fantasy X into a 2-3 hour movie. Try TLOU for that matter. They will not have the same impact.
Third of all: Why am I talking about movies?

Not sure your logic with the 2nd point is really the greatest. That is just like saying try fitting the entire series of Breaking Bad into a 2-3 hour video game.

Hence the third point haha. What I meant to say is that a video game writer can arguably create a - what's the right word - engrossing story, because he/she has more time to play with.
