    I quit my LOTRO subscription because of WB, so they have actually lost more money now than they have gained by shutting down the project! At this moment I feel good about that . As some previous posters have stated, it's an issue concerning money, and WB got every right to be their pants. I just hope more people avoid the company as to hurt it economically and perhaps in the long run drop the LOTR brand, this is however just wishful thinking.

    Doubt they'll try.
    There's about 2 million people who have downloaded TATW 3.0 alone, it's to late to stop it now, even if stopped here and the official DL it would not be lost nor hindered but shared here and there anyway.

    Ι agree; If the mod was still under development, there would be some case about closing it, despite the fact that there isn't any strategy LoTR game under way by WB or whomever holds the rights and the fact that Skyrim has a much greater popularity and community than TW games

    Oh you're mistaken there.There is a ''Kingdoms of Middle Earth " thingy and it looks really bad.
    It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it.

    This game: https://www.kabam.com/nl/the-hobbit-kingdoms

    On this page is a small trailer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...453143ca0c4fae

    Made for mobile phones so not directly the same, as it is a different market

    The graphics for the game appear to be copy-pasted from Battle for Middle-Earth II

    They say is is roleplaying, why should this affect TATW ? I think that the effect can only be positive.

    I don't really know what you mean?
    The game from the link is a strategy game but it doesn't affect TATW cause it's a mobile game...

    Skyrim LOTR mod does affect WB as it is in the same market as their upcoming game(s)
    (This is the way WB thinks, I disagree)

    He looks like Legolas I think as Maiar93 said and the father of Legolas is Thranduil

    LOL, This looks even more ridiculous than the average RPG they release

    Still, TW popularity is a lot smaller than TES's one, and also there are 3 released mods, all of whom in old platforms too. So, TATW, FATW and LotR-TW are safe IMO

    If you say it does, I believe you have thought how it does. I'm not trying to argue, I'm trying to unsterstand. As far as I know, TATW, is a non profitable work of some very talented modders. In that case, a competative work of this kind, could only benefit TATW. This is how I see it, but i may be wrong.

    I just said it doesn't?

    It doesn't affect TATW, the link of my earlier post was a mobile LOTR strategy game and the thread is about MERP for Skyrim, WB want people to buy their games and MERP is in the same market they are aiming for, so they want it closed so that they don't have to compete with them...Spending 50 dollars on a good game or getting/downloading a better one for free, what would you do?

    If you were a company and produced a LOTR strategy game for the PC, you would try to stop TATW from being made cause it will affect your sales, as this isn't the case here, it doesn't affect TATW

    It is impossible to close TATW. I would be possible to ban it from stores. In our case I see no problem, cause there is nothing you can do to close this.

    Ok I may miss something. Is this page sth like a company? Who are they gonna sue ? King Kong? And if the answer is yes, in which way? In my eyes the worst scenario is closing down this page for a few weeks

    They can sue King Kong/TATW team for using the copyrighted designs, names, etc.

    They can probably sue TWC for hosting it but I am no expert on this .
