Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 actor Ben Starr says live-action Street Fighter or God of War adaptations aren't necessary, since "I don't think video games need to justify their existence by being TV shows"

Video games have become the Hollywood gold rush du jour, with Mortal Kombat 2 and Street Fighter still to come this year, after The Super Mario Galaxy Movie already bounced through the box office. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is up for a silver screen version too, but voice actor Ben Starr believes the medium is more than capable of standing on its own, without validation from TV or film producers.

He spoke about the subject to Dexerto at this year's BAFTA Games Awards. "I don't think video games need adaptations to justify them," Starr begins. "I think it's exciting, I think it's a testament to the power of video games that we're having so many people want to go to the well of games."
