The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum - stealth action game by Daedalic

Crazy that they keep attributing this game's failure to the budget when I'm pretty sure the first Styx game was made for around the same amount. Maybe even less.

That's all this needed to be. Styx: lord of the rings.

Exactly. I don't understand why people say that a Gollum stealth game was a bad idea.

Hi ChatGPT - seriously the number of PR people now just throwing this into ChatGPT and saying done is getting ridiculous now, I ran through Blizzard's apology and it was shockingly similar to what they said and did.

the only bit I changed was about compensation, the AI was like "give them free DLC" and I'm like "um do you have any idea how the AAA industry works chatGPT" lol
try it yourself, bonus points for making the apology as ridiculous and as gaslighting as possible.
