Lord Of The Rings Online Dev Reacts To Amazon’s New Game Announcement
The developers of The Lord of the Rings Online have reacted to the news this week that Amazon Games is creating its own Lord of the Rings MMO that will seemingly exist alongside the older game.
LOTRO developer Standing Stone Games said in a forum post that it has received “a number of notes from excited and concerned community members” regarding Amazon’s new game. Some said they are concerned that Amazon’s game coming to market might signal the end of the road for The Lord of the Rings Online, but that is not the case.
“LOTRO is not going away!” Standing Stone Games said.

Gambling Firm Allegedly Paid Blogs To Link New Members To Its Online Games
The Advertising Standards Authority’s (ASA) guidelines state that gambling adverts must not be “socially irresponsible,” including presenting betting as a way to relieve loneliness or depression. Another parenting blog recommended “opulent games of online roulette that are easy to learn and can provide some handy winnings too.” The ASA guidelines also state that gambling must not be presented as a “solution to financial concerns.” A further three parenting blogs posted parenting articles that also contained segments recommending online casino or bingo and linking to the Coral website. A source familiar with the arrangements said Coral had paid the bloggers to include the links.
Entain, which owns Coral, said the articles including links to the Coral website had been posted between 2014 and 2016, before it bought Ladbrokes Coral in 2018. On Tuesday, the company said it would try to get them taken down as soon as possible, although they remained live on Sunday. The source, who used to work for a company that arranged such deals with bloggers, said Coral staff had read the articles and signed them off before publication. […] Only one of the blog posts disclosed that links contained in the article were the result of a sponsorship or affiliate marketing arrangement.

The source said the practice was chiefly aimed at manipulating Google’s search results by creating an association between women and online casino and bingo games.
