Sad news, but industry insiders have said that even bad, botched games like this one can teach you important lessons that help you make really good games later on. I wish the developers the best, and hope that they won't let this set them back.
It's just the studio that's breaking up, those 25 employees will likely find new work in the same or similar industry. Still it's always a blow to see a new team crumble under the pressure. I never played the game, but it looked well made. I could have told you before they developed it though that the concept was flawed. They were trying to ride the LOTR fan base and it backfired I guess.
Well made is not the right word. The game lacked severe polish and the game play was terrible. Brownie points for the attempt though
