While I'm not interested in stuff like Skylanders (or the Call of Duty movie), I'd be down for an Overwatch movie or, like, a Singularity TV series. Hell, give me Destiny or (more) Warcraft shorts.
What about you guys? Would you like to see ActiBlizz make more stuff ala Skylanders with Netflix?
One of the bosses behind new TV show Skylanders: Academies thinks there'll be "more gaming and TV" crossover soon.
Stacey Sher, from Activision Blizzard, believes film and television can "breathe life" into your favourite video gaming characters.
Based on the popular gaming franchise, the show has been made for Netflix.
Speaking to Newsbeat, she says they're considering doing something similar with other games they publish like StarCraft and Overwatch.
"We're going to do more but we're going to move very carefully and thoughtfully," Stacey says.
"We've already announced that we're going to do Call of Duty as a big feature film and that's an example of matching the game to the medium.
"We're going to pick the best medium [for each title] be it film, TV or shorts - the one that best serves each franchise individually."
Stacey says: "The fans love these characters and want to engage more fully with them, they want to go beyond the storytelling capabilities of gaming.
"The way television engages you is different to the way games engage you.
"In games you are the character, in filmed entertainment you empathise with characters and you go on journeys with them side by side."
While I'm not interested in stuff like Skylanders (or the Call of Duty movie), I'd be down for an Overwatch movie or, like, a Singularity TV series. Hell, give me Destiny or (more) Warcraft shorts.
I'd also accept a Vigilante 8 TV series.
