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