Why are there no video game adaptations of movies? (piefed.social)

There are plenty of spin offs and tie ins but not adaptations (save for Lego) for some reason. Obviously this isn't the case for the reverse.

Not sure how you’re stretching the definitions to not include the Spider-Man games or all the Batman games.

    What I had in mind when posting this was how most games, even story focused ones, have rather thin stories supported largely by world building and designed around having to leave room for the gameplay. And seeing how video games keep getting adapted into movies and TV shows, I thought maybe it would be better to do it the other way around.

    I haven't played the spider man games but as far as I can tell the batman games are not adaptations of any movie. They're original stories based on Batman. Needless to say those are comic book characters rather than original movies
