In one early scene, the two men, having just met, discover a shared love of the old Ronstadt song (written by Gary White). As the episode unspools over a

, fans expressed mass concern. The video game franchise, which debuted in 2013, remains one of the most beloved stories in the gaming community -- no one wanted to see it ruined. Plus, attempts to adapt the game had already failed once: almost became the subject of a live-action movie distributed by Sony, but the project fell through in 2019.Show creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann looked at these past struggles as learning opportunities for their television show, which is currently in the midst of season 1 on HBO Max.
