Amazon is working on a series adaptation of God of War, yet its new showrunner, Ron Moore, has caused concern by revealing that he is not a gamer. His statement emerged during a recent interview with Katee Sackhoff, stirring skepticism among fans about the direction of the show.

Moore expressed his unfamiliarity with modern gaming, stating:

“I’ve tried—I mean, I’m not a gamer. I took a stab at it, but I grew up in the arcade era where you go down and you put your quarters in and bang on the buttons.”

This revelation has led to a mixed reaction, particularly regarding how it will influence the adaptation of a beloved video game narrative.

Despite the initial disappointment, it’s noteworthy that Moore’s extensive experience in television, including work on classic series like Star Trek, may still bode well for the upcoming show.

As development continues, the tension between gamer expectations and Moore’s background could become a pivotal narrative in the lead-up to the show’s release.
