I was about to say, this sounds like a classic tax dodge. Start developing a ton of games, drop 8 of them come next year to make the charts look nicer for the shareholders, maybe release 1 game 3 years down the line.
Destiny? Assuming I’m in the Last City, things MIGHT be OK. If I’m not, assuming the season is the current timeline, there’s a short amount of time before the Shadow Legion captures me, some hangers-on from House Dusk kill me, the Red Legion (what’s left of it) kills me, or the Witness ends reality as we know it.
I mean, I get it from one angle - Gollum is one of the longest lived characters in LOTR. The issue is that even being 500 years old, he doesn’t really witness or interact with it all that much. Someone like Galadriel or Aragorn or Gandalf would be far more interesting.
They were supposed to have a whole series IIRC, but the contract got cancelled because the initial offering didn’t sell very well. It didn’t help that the marketing didn’t really know how they wanted to talk about the game.
