Not always how the cookie crumbles. (Gaming)

I assume the creator(s) chose that specific medium for a reason, and sometimes that reason ends up being crucial to what they've created.

That is an assumption that often times isn't true to the way media is created. A very high profile example is The Strain. Which started as a TV series pitch, but was written into a novel series so that it would get picked up for adaptation to TV. A lot of people bring a lot of things to games, even if many developers are narrowed down to a handful of people we make judgement of. The same is true of movies and TV. And while rare in books, it isn't entirely a single creative minds originally imagined endeavor. Hell, Gale in The Hunger Games was originally supposed to be Katniss' cousin. But the publisher wanted that sweet Twilight love triangle money.
