Let me translate from corporate language: “We see that LOTR is a huge franchise with a lot of devoted fans and it wasn’t compromised yet in any serious sense. So it’s a gold mine right here. We need to squeeze every cent from it in any way imaginable and let the remains rot while we’re moving to the next mine”. Whatever they will do, LOTR is and will be great

I think everything after the movies only antagonized the devoted fans more and more :D

Well, if they tried to release something like Gollum again, I don’t think it will happen

Do you not see? That’s the point - release anything with the lowest effort possible, because the “established franchise” status will fill their wallets anyway.

How about not calling the lord of the rings a fucking franchise? Not everything has to be a franchise and absolutely milked dry.

I feel like the COO of Embracer should focus on operating their studios instead of mismanaging them to the point where they’re shutting them down and restructuring.
