    I feel so bad for them, there are few things in software dev worse than having to devote significant time and effort to a project that is failed at a concept level

      Even if you fix Gollum, all you’re gonna get is a generic 3rd person action-adventure game. We got this game about a hundred times in the Xbox/PS2 era.

      No Man’s Sky was worth salvaging because it did something mechanically different. Gollum is like if you took one of those PS2 Harry Potter games, dropped it into UE4, and changed which licensed property the game uses.

      I agree, seeing Gollum start his journey across space to start a completely different game would be quite an improvement.
