    Obviously “the” is a critical part of the trademark. Lawyers win that debate.

    But why did the marketers win the “a… game” debate?

    It could have been, “The Lord of the Rings: whatever whether Hobbit farm” and avoided all the weirdness.

      That seems weirder to me to be honest. Like the recent The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. Just call if Return to Moria and make a LotR badge for marketings sake. Same here.

      I’ll accept Middle-Earth though.

    “Tales from the Shire: A Lord of the Rings game” they probably just have a few “A Lord of the Rings game”(s) in the pipeline
