[STEAM] Vermintide 2 reminds me of how perfect Warhammer Fantasy is for games—so why are there so few of them?

So much unused potential. Image via Fatshark Both of these games are observational. They take the setting, place us in it, but seldom give us much to do. One is a grand strategy title where the setting is quickly sidelined in favor of, well, strategizing, whereas the latter is a L4D-style game where gameplay is the main point, and the setting merely a means to an end.

Outside of these games, there hasn't been an honest or recognizable attempt to make a Warhammer Fantasy title. Both of these sold well from what I could gather and continue to do so, especially through their DLC schemes. So my question remains: why haven't we gotten a proper Warhammer Fantasy game (outside of a handful that, even at their best, do not take full advantage of the setting)?

Why isn't there a singleplayer, narrative-driven game (or RPG) set in this tremendous universe? Hell, if Games Workshop wants us to go to Age of Sigmar, even that could be made to work. So much potential is there for the taking, so much lore and worldbuilding, and yet everyone keeps stumbling head over heels to pursue 40K, which has been oversaturated to the max.

I certainly hope this changes eventually, as I'm sick and tired of "the next game with Space Marines but this time it's a different chapter," given how much unused potential remains ripe for the taking in both Fantasy and 40K itself. And the former especially.
