I wonder if this has anything to do with the Gollum disaster

While Embracer currently has the rights to make The Lord of the Rings video games, the Gollum Game was outside of their umbrella. Daedalic Entertainment developed it and published it with help from their parent company Nacon.

I still have to catch up with what happened, do you have any good sources on that? Prederably short video form for my adhd ass.

Tears of Grace has some videos that just showcase the… brokenness, seems a bit forgiving as a term, of the game.

You don’t really need sources, it’s just a bad game from every perspective made by a studio that only had experience with point and click adventures (which had an actual good reputation, but I’ve never played them myself). It looks ugly (as in: games ten years ago had better graphics), it plays badly and the amount of people who want to play as Gollum just isn’t that high.

Soooo, they skipped being Extender and went straight to the Extinguisher phase?

It truly is insane how many subsidiaries and IPs are under their umbrella. And yet nobody really ever hears about Embracer. I’d heard of them once or twice in industry news, but never really knew how many things were under their belt. Truly grew too big for it’s own good.

They’re the western Tencent, in the sense that when one of their publishers does something the actual ownership rarely gets mentioned because it’s not really newsworthy.

I wonder what this mysterious $2B deal was. It seems crazy to me that they would factor that income into their public projections without any further details on who they were partnering with on what.

I’m guessing they were trying to enter the Asian markets based on absolutely nothing at all.

I’m begging that this doesn’t kill Limited Run…
