The books go into public domain in 20 years. Now that Christopher Tolkien is out of the way (who tended to block a lot of stuff, for better or worse) , the current heirs want as much out of it as they can.
20 years might sound like a lot, but that’s about as much time as between the Peter Jackson movies and now.
Honestly I don’t really care, I’m more inclined to strategy and 4x games.
If you don mind me recommending a game, check out against the storm, it’s a city builder with rogue like elements, and it came out recently out of early access, it’s reaaaaally addicting
Tbh they seem to be a lot more “hands off” with non-canon stuff, which I think includes all of the LOTR/middle earth licensed games, and that’s not a bad thing imo.
It may as well be, they’re endorsing all sorts of shit content lately (like the Golem game, or the ring of power)

I haven’t played the gollum game, but rings of power was actually good tho
Do yourself a favor and don’t play the Gollum game
It’s really bad

I will take your advice and check out this game
Do let me know what you think of it!
Better than the Mines of Moria, though… Barely, and only at times.
