Because they pretty much all sucked and developers started making games inspired by films using the IP instead of direct adaptations

They're all Fortnite skins now. Much cheaper to make and sell more of them than you would copies of the game = big profits

Right? People play these gamss then make posts saying "im done with gaming" then you ask them what they play and go "uhhh warzone valorant lol pokémon and overwatch 2"

These people will also call you boomers when you critisize modern gaming

Yeah, it really is. Went back and played it about 6-8 weeks ago and it really does hold up quite well

Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay disagrees. (Definitely more of an exception though)

They still exist just they are mobile games now. They are way cheaper to make make and way more money.

Ideally you'd want the game released somewhere not long after the movie. But I think the lead times on most games have gotten so long most games would need to be started well before the movies even start looking for a producer.

Yeah they all sucked BUT, I did love the star wars III game, the cars game and even the finding Nemo game. I'msure I can think of more.

Also I believe they're working on a tie in Dune game. And what about that Mad Max game ? People seemed to like that.

Usually movie games were made to be out relatively close to the movie release. It was already very hard to release a good game in the given timeframe, but with dev time getting quite longer now, it might be a big struggle to have something at least decent, also a bad game can get a lot more bad press these days than back then, could really hurt the brand more than the need to have a game.

Didn't Guardians of the Galaxy come out with a game like a year ago?

Harry Potter has a game coming out soon.

Granted, former is a comic and latter is a book, but the games are based on the movies.

Fairly certain we've gotten Star Wars recently, too.
