It may as well be, they’re endorsing all sorts of shit content lately (like the Golem game, or the ring of power)
The books go into public domain in 20 years. Now that Christopher Tolkien is out of the way (who tended to block a lot of stuff, for better or worse) , the current heirs want as much out of it as they can.
20 years might sound like a lot, but that's about as much time as between the Peter Jackson movies and now.
I haven't played the gollum game, but rings of power was actually good tho
Do yourself a favor and don't play the Gollum game
It's really bad
Honestly I don't really care, I'm more inclined to strategy and 4x games.
If you don mind me recommending a game, check out against the storm, it's a city builder with rogue like elements, and it came out recently out of early access, it's reaaaaally addicting
I will take your advice and check out this game
Do let me know what you think of it!
Better than the Mines of Moria, though... Barely, and only at times.
Tbh they seem to be a lot more "hands off" with non-canon stuff, which I think includes all of the LOTR/middle earth licensed games, and that's not a bad thing imo.
