Well if that gollum game is any indication, and the Amazon show, the rights owners for LOTR don't give a fuck about how their property gets used and abused. I expect a lot more shovelware in the future.
Copyright for the first Middle Earth starts running out in 2032, 95 years after The Hobbit was published. Probably want to milk this out of money while they still can, even if it's for scraps.
Guess I'll have to enjoy what's been made thus far, and accept that there likely won't be anything good made in the future.
