I imagine that if the game is good, and marketed well, it may get some of these younger gamers to actually read the book the game is based off of.
True, but where's the incentive for the software house? Companies making games are out to make money, not to convince young people to read. Why would they pay royalties on a book if it's actually the GAME that will spread the book and not viceversa?
