The MMO The Lord of the Amazon Rings is no longer

Pour one for courageous souls at Amazon Game Studios. It seems that their future MMO Lord of the Rings has been canceled due to a complex set of contract negotiation issues. The development studio was acquired by a separate business giant, see you.

Yes, it looks like Tencent and Amazon locked the horns, all losing us at the end. The MMO of the Lord of the Rings was to be developed by Amazon and Leyou Technologies Holding. Then Tencent went to buy Lth at the end of last year. Contractual discussions followed, who were a failure. In one way or another, Amazon and Tencent could not find common ground. The result is that the developing MMO is no longer.

Although Amazon Game Studios is not stranger to the reverses, he is honestly a little shocking that this project has failed. Amazon is a kind of full-fledged monster. Yet they were arrested in their momentum by Tencent! This seems insane until you start searching in the list of acquisitions and participations of this company. It turns out that they have video games? As, any major game publisher you name probably the Tencent brand on a percentage of its stock. Blizzard / Activision, Riot Games. Epic, Grinding Gear Games and many others vibrate to some extent to the rhythm of Tencent. Amazon Game Studios can simply not compete, it seems.
