No it isn't. I've played the first game thrice, the second twice, and genuinely adore both for a variety of reasons.

Forbidden West is literally the only game I've bothered taking a week off work to play on launch, and then did it again on PC to play the DLC.

There is nothing about Horizon which makes it's popularity unwarranted. The fans are real and there's tons of us.

I'll admit the idea of a live action adaptation felt stupid, but after my parents got to experience the story of the The Last Of Us through the actually well executed adaptation, I was cautiosly ready to wait and see if they might not pull of a decent adaptation of Zero Dawn for them to watch, too.

Hearing of its cancellation is no great loss though.
