Why no Mayfair Games?

I recently played Nuns on the Run, which was a fun game with a lot of the kind of calculation that would make it a great candidate for a Board Games Arena game. I checked to see if it's on the licensed games, and it's not. It's published by Mayfair, and no Mayfair games are on the list.

I check Wikipedia for who owns Mayfair's properties, and it's Asmodee. What else does Asmodee own? A lot, including Board Game Arena. Why doesn't BGA show licenses for games that are owned by its corporate siblings?

Asmodee doesn't force its publishers to put their licence on BGA. It still needs someone to ask for it, probably no one did ;)

Mayfair Games no longer exist. Asmodee owns SOME of its past properties, not all of them. As games go out of print, the rights revert back to the designers.

BGA won't ask for a licence if there is no developer interested in.
