Not necessarily GW. GW set up a sub company to handle non-table top books (ie, non miniature, fiction, comics etc) and they in turn set up sub companies to handle the RPGs independently. Someone at company one decided the success of the novels out weighs the RPG and decided to focus on the novels only.
Its there business, its there decision. However, if enough fans complain and request more, well its 2008 not 1988. I have a good faith (60/40 here) that by the time the next 4 (and last 4) of Black Industries books are released Green Ronin will absorb the license and continue to support the game line.
Maybe nothing major, but a book here and there to keep the RPGers and Miniature game players interested in the novels.
What they are missing is a good $30 sourcebook for a RPG with say 100 pages can support a series of 4 or 5 novels.
Anyway.....
