Leaving aside the overall quality of the show, you can’t just recast the beloved main character and expect people to still be excited about it. Especially when the original actor is also a gamer who raved about how much he loved the source material, left the show for the right reasons, and connected with the fans so well.
I’m pretty sure he left, or at the very least they “agreed” to stop cooperation. But I might be wrong, I didn’t pay that close attention to the drama back then.
Damn his team need props for the building a PC video. Locked in an entire demographic worth billions for just a cheap video that probably cost 5 grand to make.

They’ve mishandled this property spectacularly.
It’s all part of why I canceled Netflix.
Their stuff seemed generic, and I’d often turn something off after a half hour because it was meandering bullshit.
When something nice and unique did come along it would get canceled, so I stopped watching new series until they developed them a bit.
Then they get their hands on a beloved property and didn’t even TRY to adapt it.
I canceled upon the mere rumor of dropping multiple screens.
Netflix should have stayed OUT of production.
I agree with you but he didn’t leave on his own accord, they fired him.
Oh damn, I didn’t realize that. Such a bad call.

It was one of those resign or we fire you kinda deals according to what I remember reading back when it happened.
I’ll take your word for it. Either way, happy for him for making it out of his dream turned nightmare.
