Former WB Games leader says he was overruled on War in the North's 2011 release date

Christian Allen, on WB Games' studio leadership team in 2011, says he "argued vociferously" against releasing The Lord of the Rings: War in the North on November 1, 2011 — ten days before Skyrim. He was overruled. Allen attributes the decision to quarterly revenue pressures at the publicly traded publisher, writing that such motivations "drive more decisions than people realise."
