Warhammer is getting more attention than pretty much any other franchise at least when it comes to Fandom.

If you ask me Warhammer going mainstream isn't exactly going to bode too well.

What’s this measuring? The number of views Fandom wikis get?

Fallout at 7 makes no sense. What’s even happening in that franchise other than people endlessly replaying New Vegas? Give its spot to Cyberpunk 2077, which actually had a redemption arc with Phantom Liberty

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Something fishy with that list. Escape from tarkov, really?lol

Amazon TV series was a massive success.

Warhammer 40k definitely deserves to be up there. The best tabletop plus the best sci-fi lore which is way more interesting than Star Wars and the others in my opinion. Elder Scrolls and Fallout are also extremely awesome and had a huge and amazing lore. World of Warcraft used to but not as much anymore unless they can turn things around which could happen throughout and after this expansion.

Hope to see more big Warhammer 40k related stuff soon.

Halo has some really great lore but the problem is that they don't know how to implement it into the games. So, it mostly stays to the books.

Yep. The current culture is absolutely ripe for a big 40k blow out in popularity. It's the absolute antithesis of the safe, bland, PG friendly slop we're being served up over and over again. The Disneyfication of every major sci-fi franchise has pretty much ruined them all in one way or another. 40k stands to clean up because of this, by offering something so totally and completely different.

People are ready to embrace the grimdark, and I couldn't be happier about that - partly because I'm a shareholder

I believe the surge in interest is related to how other fandoms like Star Wars, DND, LotR, MCU or Star Trek have catered to those who seek to despoil everything they touch with their dysgenic politics.

People then react by running away from the lunatics to a setting that is more grimdark in the underlying ideologies and actions.

You are pretty spot on right here. It's one of the reasons I went to Warhammer 40,000. All the other science fiction franchises as well as fantasy franchises are being ruined.

But as popularity grows and the more mainstream Warhammer 40,000 gets, expect Games Workshop to cave in the same way.

To be fair, this is just metrics from Fandom. Some of these other IPs have well established wikis outside of this terribly formatted site. Fandom sucks.

The gameplay view is not good but I’m sure many find it fun.

I like the site personally. But it really depends on the person making it and really not so much Fandom itself.

Thing is to a lot of the recent video games have been well received. You have Space Marine 2 and Rogue Trader which are both fantastic games and loved by people.

You have Darktide and Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters which are both fantastic games as well.

The old players are absolutely loving what they're doing with the series and new people are becoming intrigued.

40k rules and I’m happy to see it getting more popular. Just read Horus Heresy.

Until it, too, gets corrupted. But I'm hoping its heretofore unapologetic emphasis on violence and dark themes will keep it insulated from the influence of the loonies for a while longer.

 

[March Climber]

It is much deserved. They have been building a large community brick by brick, and branching out to video games the way they did was a very smart move.

I really hope things are handled well enough on the TV and movie side. They also need to find an anime studio to help on that front to grow on that end.

It's going to get a huge amount of flak from people on both sides of the political spectrum. Which is probably why its taken so long for it to get green lit. The right wing are going to have an apoplectic fit when they see how much religious iconography is used and abused. The left wing are going to hate the fascistic overtones of the Imperium and the 'might is right' messaging (even though the audience is not supposed to approve of it).

Everyone will complain about the vat grown, lobotomised babies being used as flying servitor drones.

Terraria as number 2? Why?
