There was quote by Gerge RR Martin that I remembered,

Although, when someone changes a work to adapt it to TV, writers may always be annoyed at aspects they found important or were proud of, to be altered. Sometimes its just necessary to change things(GRRM writes to many ‘small’ characters for TV for example).

I never saw the Dune movies or read any any Dune book. I’m not sure that would be the game for me, I have nothing with Dune.
I paid attention to Conan Exiles because of the movies. The games mechanics, open world, the atmosphere(the music while travelling the south) is what made me continue to play it.

Joel always wanted to make PvP game(and completely ignored the PvE side early on) and he saw no problem in changing the lore to fit his view. I dont dislike him, he did eventually see that there was a large number of PvE players who were sticking around and started making more content for them aswell. Joel has his own view of how things should be done, but I found him willing to listen aswell.
That you can make silk in a tanners bench, is something I requested years ago(originally in the armourers bench though) during a livestream and Joel said “sure, we can do that.” and they added it next update.
He gets a lot of hate for his style of doing things, but he’s not that bad. We’ll, you can always go to the Sepermeru tavern and yell at him I suppose.
