Hi guys, lotr bfme 1 and 2 were one of my most favorite PC games ever and I always craved another sequels in the series. Now, I know that creating any tolkien related content is a subject of strict licensing and since EA's license expired the games vanished and no words of any potential renewal came out in years. Since game industry is about making money and not pleasing fans I was just curious whether amazon's new series which could be aired for years and multiple seasons could provide fertile ground for profitable games. We know that mmo-game will be coming out but industry deserves a solid RTS game after long time. Do you think EA and Warner bros could potentially collaborate on such a project or maybe a whole new middle earth strategy game could come out?

We could only dream! A BFME 3 based from the series would be awesome!
A couple things technically BfME 3 can only be made by EA (unless they get contact and make it) but most importantly RTS genre in this style is dead, if you want a more stategic game, you find it in longer games, like crusader kings, Civilization and Total war. if you want to find more action packed games you go to fps or real time rpgs.
The only RTS that is still standing is Starcraft 2 (originally 2010 legacy of the void 2015) and is still quiete a nish game in fact twice blizzard thought to make a sequel and it was a shooter.
While im aware about the upcoming age 4 and the age of empires remakes but they are almost reskins with some changes in the campaings still is not a great reappearence of the genre.
What im saying is while i would love a new BfME (heck i would love any RTS) Its not going to happen soon. (Also Age it will probably be as slow as age 2)
