    Embracer specializes in large quantities of mid tier games. Which is great, and probably works wonders for them in good economic times. But right now, people are tightening their wallets and likely only buying their most anticipated games, which are typically going to be the AAA tier games of other publishers.

    Sounds like they intend to milk the LotR franchise drier than a Breeland dairy cow.

    Pretty sure that was always the plan for whoever bought the rights

    I sure as fuck hope so. Mainly because LotR happens to have a lot of really good mid-tier games from the PS2-3 era. Games like the hack and slash trilogy, and The Third Age. The exact sort of games that Embracer Group specializes in.
