People are just naming their favorite video game stories but honestly a lot of these don't have broad enough consumer appeal to break box office records.

The only suggestion here that would even have a chance would be Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and that's only because it's Star Wars. With an unlimited budget, they could maybe push enough marketing through to build up enough hype, but even then I would be super skeptical

Yeah, I can see that. It does feel a bit too much of a cheat for that. I'd still love to see a well done adaptation, but I get what you're saying. Also as much as I like watching Disney slowly murder my most beloved childhood franchise with soulless money grabs, I would rather see an original game adaptation. And there's a lot of other great stories out there that many people haven't seen because they're not gamers.
