Back in 2000s there was still an entire industry dedicated to snatching licenses and selling shovelware based on them, so I don't know how true this is. It could just be a case of history only remembering the winners.

If you compare it to now, we either get no movie tie-ins at all or at most some DLC cosmetics to celebrate it. The fact that there were winners at all kinda makes it the golden age by default.

Peter Jackson's King Kong and Spider-Man 2, my beloved.
