So after a few years they lose the licensing of one or more things and can't sell it anymore nor bring it back without re-licensing everything again, and the chances are that the licensing costs the same or more even than it did the first time per se, but the game will likely not make anywhere near as much money as it originally did so there's greater risk and less financial incentive to bring such games back from the dead.
of big properties, is that such licensing agreements almost always are not in perpetuity but with a range of 5-10 years or so because it is just too expensive to license things in perpetuity like that. Yeah, that's one of the big problems with games that license various media/trademarks etc.
Seems strange given Warner Bros' have already paid for Tolkien licensing with the Shadow of Mordor/War games and others but I guess the LEGO versions weren't guaranteed moneymakers, especially considering the alleged Five Armies DLC for The Hobbit that never materialized and left that game "unfinished" in terms of story mirroring film treatments. It's likely the licensing that isn't being renewed. It happened previously for a time with LEGO The Hobbit but then it was returned but wide speculation has been that it's just living on borrowed time. TheMonkofDestiny: People are assuming that they're going to be de-listed from official sale.
