Usually, you have to wait months, years or decades before someone decides to pour blood, sweat and tears to make a filmed adaptation of a video game. Not with Titanfall.

You hear the scare-logic all the time from folks who want to blame video games for bad stuff: they're just training simulations for how to hurt people.

The same guy is in charge of both, but he says the…

SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF MAN OF STEEL.
