Ever since I learned they were a thing they cracked me up tbh. Idk I guess the target audience are like hardcore fans who love lore expansion, but gamers dont strike me for the most part as the reading type. Tho maybe thats projection

Depends on the game/genre. The Diablo and Warcraft novels supplemented the in-game lore and were competently written. And there's a lot of crossover between fantasy nerds and RPG players.

The actual writer for the first two Mass Effect games wrote some of that game's novels, too (which I have not read).
