"How about we make a movie from a video game that didn't sell enough to get a sequel?"
"Makes sense"

It was never about the sells..

Sleeping Dogs' difficult and prolonged development began in 2008. The game was announced in 2009 as part of the True Crime series but was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011, as a result of the project's delays and budget issues. Six months later, Square Enix bought the publishing rights and renamed the game Sleeping Dogs, without the True Crime license, but considered a spiritual successor. During development, United Front staff visited Hong Kong to conduct field research for the visual environments and sound.

Upon its release in 2012, the game received positive reviews for its combat, voice acting, experience system and depiction of the city; but its graphics, camera, and animations were criticized. Within one year, the game had sold over 1.5 million copies. New outfits, missions and add-ons, as well as three expansion packs, were released as downloadable content in the six months following the game's debut. A remastered version, subtitled Definitive Edition, was released in October 2014 for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It features improved gameplay, setting and audiovisual quality based on community feedback.[11] A spin-off, Triad Wars, was canceled mid-development in 2015."

It's apparent you cant..
so I'll let you be the lame contrarian and let you cook:russ::sas1:

Don't get me wrong, I'd loved Sleeping Dogs but it underperformed to a point they didn't make another game.
Now they are making a movie.

That makes no sense.
