It'll be fucking shovel ware, as we all know.
The headline just says it all:
" We're losing money on a franchise that's making us money by not having another product for a differing media that makes a lot of money."
Why not just stand outside Activision HQ and stamp your feet like a spoilt 5 year old?

I actually think an MMO would work...hear me out here.
Two factions: sparkle vampires and human hunters
The vampires are your typical Mary Sues and get to do...I don't know, meet the Cullens and werewolves, go running around, whatever the fangirls would be interested in.
The human hunters...get to kill them. Sneak up with a flamethrower, and torch the sparkle right off.
If there were no subscription, I'd get that. I think orginized corpse camping of Twihards would be kind of fun.

I don't think turning Twilight into a game would be a good idea. There is always a chance that it could blow people's mind, but if it is a movie-based game, I think the track record for that genre speaks for itself. With something as big as Twilight, where the public is split down the middle between love and hate, making a game that I would say has an 80-90% chance of being totally terrible would not help Twilight fans, but would give Twilight haters more ammo and could possibly scare aware potential fans of the series. So, I'd say it would be a bad idea. Lacking a game may cost millions, but actually making one would probably cost them billions.
How exactly is it 'costing them millions'? Or 'losing them millions'?
If they mean that they could be making money whereas they're not by not making the game, ok, say they're losing out on millions, but the way it's being phrased they make it sound like money is being taken away from them...whoever 'they' are.

A wide array of vampires with different talents that reflect their pre-vampiric lives would probably translate very well into a videogame setting.generic gamer said:
And given how bloody brutal the Volturi are, it could actually be a pretty intense Devil May Cry-esque game.
Of course, to sell the most copies, they'd have to do something with the Cullens, so there goes that idea.
(Protip: In the Twilight Universe, the Cullens are by far the least interesting thing therein.)
How can they possibly make a game of this? Then again, that question has never bothered other movie/game execs, but this is a truly shining example. What is there to play? A puzzle game? There's no mystery or real intrigue, there's no real action other than a few short and infrequent fight scenes...what could be done?
You know, if this were a (hypothetical) good game, I could stand it. Sure I'd tipex over the title, burn the cover, and I'm sure there would be around a million mods released 5 seconds after the game comes out that change the name of the presumed protagonist from Edward to "Iamasparklingdouchebag." Besides, how many good vampire themed games have been released in the last year or so?
@OP Still, the way you worded it made me happy: Twilight franchise losing money. Hurray!!!
