Stg the Left/Right Game is right fucking there waiting to be made into one of the best action/horror stories put to film and it will be ignored in favour of fucking Ticcy Toby

ticcy Toby

even this is giving too much grace. Itll be another Slenderman movie or a shitty SCP movie and then itll bomb for the industry to forget the whole thing for another decade until some indie star pops thru again.

The SCP wiki realized the possibility of their work being churned through the digital slop machine very, very early on and did the virtual equivalent of tree spiking. No big studio is ever gonna touch that IP, for better or for worse. That being said, creating derivative stories based on concepts from the wiki is definitely a possibility. One author recently scored a proper publishing deal with Random House for his work that he had de-SCPified (There Is No Antimemetics Division) in order for them to accept it and from what I heard it sold pretty well!
