Ooof... sad for all those devs, but wow was that game was a mistake from the start

I think they had mostly worked on point-and-click games before Gollum. Clearly they weren't ready to scale up to a project as large as a LoTR title. Sad to see though nevertheless.

Just the idea/concept felt off... someone should have asked why we need a whole game about a side-character that no one asked for

I don't understand this argument. I can think of a dozen ways of making an interesting Gollum game. It's a fascinating and daresay iconic character. I was a little bit hyped for the game actually, too bad it's... Well, this.
