If you could make a biopic related to the gaming industry, what would it be?

Dude was the Mr. Rogers of the gaming community
Master of Doom has devs stealing the computers from their former boss in order to make Commander Keen so that's the high octane option.
Tetris' story is pretty cool, and Sega of America being weird and scrappy in the '90s could be neat (I think the latter idea might actually be in development or development hell).
Thinking in terms of what would actually make a good movie -- and not just "I like and respect this person, therefore biopic" -- the crazy, ramblin-assed life of Hiroshi Yamauchi could make a pretty swinging Wes Anderson-y adventure.

No matter how you spin it and who you base it on, a biopic about the gaming industry would be sued to hell and back for defamation of character and "leaking of company secrets" (I know there's a more legal term for that, but I'm in the middle of transit right now).
Kojima Documentary by Geoff Keighley, made at home in claymation and cardboard cutouts. The OST consists exclusively of personally written and recorded songs from Geoff.
Not quite a biopic, but a documentary following the 2007-2011 era of MOBA development between Riot Games, Valve, and S2 Games.
There's so much juicy drama, racism, sexism, lies, lawsuits, bullshit, and more involved. It's absolutely fucking insane.
It'd be like a quadruple-biopic following the founders of Riot, S2, and IceFrog.

I had wondered what happened to the console wars movie. Shame it's in development hell, it would make a fun film.
A bio-pic about Bushnell would be fun. Bushnell basically stole the idea for Pong from Magnavox/Baer and then proceeded to be copied endlessly. Some poetic irony there. From interviews, he seems like quite the charlatan character.
You mean this one, which I was thinking of as well:
Tetris: From Russia with Love (TV Documentary)
Really need to start uploading some of the classic video game documentaries that have been on TV over the years.But this is Tetris: From Russia with Love, a...

Thank you. I knew I wasn't going senile.
YES!
He's not the most important person in videogames history, but he's certainly the most important and influential figure in Nintendo's
A movie about Sierra Online's early days would be interesting. It would have to be a comedy/drama and have interesting characters like Al Lowe and Jim Walls. I could see Seth Rogen being Ken Williams. Not sure about Roberta Williams (Amy Adams?)
On the same note, a movie about Richard Garriott (Lord British) would be cool.
Ken Watanabe would kill in that role.
You know what would be fucking great? An HBO miniseries covering the history of videogames from its inception in a laboratory to the massive success of last gen, where each episode more or less covers each major generation of gaming.
Have the Videogame Crash of 84 be a huge mid-season cliffhanger, haha.

There's some offensive language (racist and homo/transphobic) in some of the old staff quotes/stories but there are some Wolf of Wall Street-esque stories in here:
If they do one on Garriott, they need to include a reverse Pulp Fiction scene for when the dude breaks into his manor and Garriott walks past all the swords to grab an uzi.
This is basically 'why is there still no masters of doom movie?' the thread.
For real. Fincher should have made that instead of the social network. The connection is there with reznor who should totally do the soundtrack. Again.
Sounds dope as hell.

I want to see Christian's Bale transformation and wearing the hat.
