The Elder Scrolls Franchise

Considering how rich and "thorough" the lore of Tamriel and the world of the Elder Scrolls is, I am very surprised to see the franchise have not embraced other media. I'm specifically referring to books. The Dungeons and Dragons franchise have a lot of novels, but I think I have only seen 2 novels for the Elder Scrolls, written by Greg Keyes. The franchise has been around since 1994, and I know there are other books focusing on the history and the lore, but only the 2 story books. Does anyone know the reason for this?

Also, instead of all the tv series we currently have focusing on vampires, banshees, werewolves etc, I honestly think the Elder Scrolls can be turned into a pretty awesome "Game of Thrones" - esque TV series.

    I believe the reason is that they want to have control over the franchise and by extending to other media such as books, movies and TV, they lose that ability. They want to keep the lore in the games for players to enjoy and explore and not have something people can't interact with.

    Money would be my guess . Books don't sell like they use to in the old AD&D days .
