Thought I read at one point that the authors of The Expanse had originally intended it to be a gaming universe? Then they made it into a book series instead. Then it became a TV show. And now…

It was going to be an MMO. But they are really expensive to make and have small profits margins, and I don't think it got that far off the ground. I've never even seen anything like concept art for it.

Then it got turned into a book series, then that got turned into the TV show, and the game is a game of the TV show. The story in the books is a bit different and no one knows what the story of the MMO was like.

Wasn’t The Expanse a book series first, then all the other media after?

Yes, and no. It was originally developed as a game, was scrapped and reworked into a book series.
