Because it has like 300+ novels!But the vast majority are drivel, absolutely including Dan Abnett, and whilst they have got better, overall, the odds of any given novel being good or even really fun are... low. Plus the very best 40K novels are like, about as good as middling other SF novels.Which is to say that in fact it probably does have the best game-based fiction, goddamn it. But only by volume and because the others are so bad.Re: Battletech I feel like there's a lot of rose-tinting going on. I loved the Battletech novels back in the day, but I was a child. I tried re-reading one in my 30s and it was... bad. Real bad.There was of course Defiance, a TV series associated with an MMORPG, where what happened in the MMORPG was supposed to influence the TV series. Both were really low-budget and not very good though.</blockquote>
