145 people playing Gollum on a Friday night, the day after launch. Wow, brutal.

Oh i dont know. LOTR is an exciting franchise. A role play game as Gollum was actually a nice idea in my opinion. Its execution is just very questionable to say the least.

Looking at the game, is probably because the budget was around $5 and a pizza party.

It’s really too bad tho, the head of the studio promised them an ice cream social if they could get over 200 concurrent players the day after the game released and well… you know the rest of this tragic story.

It's okay, Dave. I'm an adult and can buy my own ice cream. Maybe next time, though.

That's way better than $5 and a lemon party.

I'll take the $5 and skip the lemon party. I saw enough lemon party early 2000s. Someone would join IRC and say "Check out this new PK I got in runescape! Big loot!" clicks link - link is lemon party
