00:00Amazon Prime Video's long-in-development Mass Effect series has reportedly been ordered to rewrite scripts in order to appeal
00:07to a non-gaming crowd.
00:09As reported by the Ankler, Amazon's new head of global television, Peter Friedlander, is apparently waiting until script rewrites to
00:17properly give the Mass Effect series the crucial green light it needs to enter proper production.
00:22The report claims that the sci-fi show is on the verge of being greenlit, but the Amazon TV boss
00:28wants rewrites to make it more appealing to non-gamers first.
00:32There's no word on exactly which parts of the script Friedlander thinks could use some work, leaving the show's production,
00:38and fans still eagerly awaiting Mass Effect 5, in an uncertain space.
00:43Regardless, if Amazon is dead set on smoothing out Mass Effect's gamey edges, I hope the show writers follow Fallout's
00:50lead by remixing what made the series special in a visual format, rather than Halo's lead in just slapping game
00:57iconography on top of an otherwise unrelated sci-fi story.
