>That’s according to a LinkedIn post of an Amazon Games worker who lost their job this week, who suggested in a post (spotted by RPS) that the planned Tolkien game has also fallen under Amazon’s axe.

>“This morning I was part of the layoffs at Amazon Games, alongside my incredibly talented peers on New World and our fledgling Lord of the Rings game (y’all would have loved it),” they wrote.

>LotRO MMO made by Amazon
Could you image the absolute shitshow that would have been? I'm almost sad it got killed in the womb because that would have been endless laughter.

There are no videogame companies right now that could do a proper LOTR game justice

POV: you've been scourging the Shire with your ruffian bros and these four little shits show up decked out with +10 elven longswords and entish uber elixirs.

Good. There's only one LOTRO, and we're still chugging along, baby!

It's nice when media makes the main hobbits not ugly. The movies didnt the worse job but that was tempered by making them less competent, intelligent and wise and making Merry/Pippin pure comic relief.

Can they cancel their awful TV series instead of the games? New World has 100 times more value than their TV garbage.

Does Bezos just hate money at this point or something?

>Amazon's streaming service Amazon Prime Video gave a multi-season commitment to the series that was believed to be for five seasons, with the possibility of a spin-off series as well. Despite this, Prime Video had to give a formal greenlight to future seasons before work could begin on them. The budget was expected to be in the range of US$100–150 million per season, and was likely to eventually exceed US$1 billion which would make it the most expensive television series ever made.
after "rising costs" it's probably 5 billion by now.

I really hope the AI shit goes open source, it's potential is incredible and I don't want faggy corporations controlling it.
