I don?t know about y?all, but a million-dollar idea for a The Lord of the Rings game pitch that inevitably failed hard maybe isn?t worth a million dollars. Then again, the story is never as simple as that and certainly isn?t for Jon Burton, founder of Traveller?s Tales and the man that brought the LEGO game franchises to the forefront of casual gaming. He revealed this week from his YouTube channel GameHut that there was a failed The Hobbit Lord of the Rings game pitch that cost the studio over $1,000,000 dollars?yet never saw the light of day. Yikes.
The video includes a number of playable levels that were created for the pitch, a look at The Lord of the Rings concept for The Hobbit game that never was.
