It’s always sad when a small studio goes under, even if their opening salvo was a flop.
They managed to build a playable game. It wasn't great but it did mostly function. The big issue was that they made it with a loved franchise. Had this been a game in a new setting, it probably wouldn't have been beaten up so badly.
Having watched a twitch stream of it, naahhhh, I doubt it. There would be less negativity if it werent for the LOTR license but only because nobody would even care about it then, it'd fly under the radar. It's frankly a pretty bad game from multiple aspects, the technical, gameplay and narrative. There must have been hell going on during its development.
