Bizarre for it to get a movie almost 10 years after the game's release, but sure why not.

I don't really understand the idea behind adapting what is basically a movie into... another movie.

Not to mention, this game was livestreamed and recorded to hell, you absolutely can just watch it.

I guess someone really thinks the plot has merit, despite it being an incredibly generic horror plot? This just sounds like a really dumb idea thought up by an out of touch studio exec, so I guess the FNAF movie did pretty well.

I think you figured it out. Until Dawn could have some value if they double down on the cheesy B-movie style IMO.

Yeah I loved the game but the story only gets away with being as generic as it is because it’s presented in an interactive game format.

Annabelle: Creation was a surprisingly good entry in The Conjuring series though so I’m willing to give it a chance. I’m just not going into it expecting much based on the source material.

More money for the developers is always a good thing, I say, and there are still plenty of people who don't watch games on YouTube and Twitch or rather watch their horror in game format but live action. I always have to remind myself of that. Just like people who still buy physical copies of books just as much as digital. More options for money and people who want to push and create more in the genre or format.
