Who in God’s name wanted a Gollum video game?

From GeekTyrant: “The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been delayed. Daedalic Entertainment and NACON recently made the announcement regarding the upcoming prequel video game and thanked fans for their patience and support.” If someone who does reads this, feel free to explain why in the comments section. I don’t understand the appeal. — And I don’t mean that in a dismissive way. I like unusual games myself. I’m just not getting the appeal of this one.
