Or it could just be because licensed products are less good than products intended from the beginning to work for their associated medium.
I'll say this....I've worked on enough licensed products from various sources (Star Wars, Star Trek, Indy, DC heroes), to say that it's a beee-yatch to deal with. All of the editors/acquisitions editors lamented the same thing- when you work with a license, you have to make sure you do it the way the licensee wants you to, and that's when the creative head-butting happens.
Do you know that, at one time, FASA and Paramount had a meeting about the Star Trek RPG game, and Paramount came right out and said that not a shred of the FASA products were true Star Trek, not canon, not anything at all? From what I heard, a fistfight almost broke out about it. Paramount is the WORST to deal with in terms of licensed products. The Trek RPG game was done with virtually NO help from them whatsoever...no source materials provided. So then they turn around and say that FASA got it all wrong? Well duh, geniuses.
