I have a lifetime account at LoTRO. Whenever stories about games based on LoTR come up, I am always hoping it will become something awesome, but they all just seem to flop. The ownership rights of the IP are also so fractured and convoluted, it’s kind of a miracle anything actually gets made let alone made well. Maybe someone will actually step up at some point to make a game that really embraces the magic in Tolkien’s universe, instead of trying to change it and them calling it lightning in a bottle.
Not surprising but still sad, of course the people making the stupid choices dont face the consequences. I feel for the employees
I feel really bad for the employees. Feels like the execs set them up to fail. Hopefully they land on their feet.
just think of all the money that this game had poured into it…and the failure is why the Embracer Group (THQNordic) is cancelling games and re-prioritizing it’s studios.
I’m gonna be livid if my Deus Ex Reboot / 3rd sequel got cancelled because of this…
Is a new Deus Ex game confirmed? Because I have heard absolutely nothing about that and was under the impression they were done with the series.
Embracer / THQNordic mentioned last year they had interest and basically wanted to do where cyberpunk failed expectations
It was a funny meme while it lasted.
