Inside the struggle to create a cozy Lord of the Rings game
The article discusses the challenges faced by Weta Workshop's Game Studio in creating a cozy Lord of the Rings game.

The article suggests that the Game Studio has not yet achieved the same level of prestige as the company's film and special effects work. The article highlights the struggle to create a cozy and immersive Lord of the Rings game experience, which is a departure from the studio's previous focus on visual effects and prop-making for major Hollywood productions.
