Because it's made by people who don't like the games, that's why Cavill left

The writers have openly and loudly stated that they dislike the source material, including the books they're adapting and the games.

Thus, they're perfectly fine disrespecting it because they can make it better.

Narrator: They can't.

I have no idea why on earth Netflix would assign writers who hate the source material to adapt the series, but here we are.

They (production staff) tried to cancel Cavill because he insisted on following the source material.

A few factors.

The source material is just okay. The first book is a neat anthology kinda thing but once it gets past that it's pretty generic

The games are better than the books but they can't reference anything from the games

The showrunners don't seem to overly care about the source material

Netflix are hit and miss in general and don't compare to a company like HBO

More adaptations are bad than good

If anything it's unusual when these are good

First season was quite good. Honestly I thought the third season was better than the second

That's gonna be a hard disagree from me (finale of Lady of the Lake notwithstanding). But to each their own.
