Yeah, it does all come from a desire for money, money, money, but you have to realise that if people didn't actually want this, there would be no money to be made from it. There are a lot of people out there who would get heaps of enjoyment from Battles of Middle-Earth. Good for them! Finally because of the movies, someone is willing to make products that they will enjoy.

The good thing is that there is not such an easy translation between Middle-Earth battles and modern warfare. If we kept glorifying war with guns, it might become more acceptable at large (not that I'm strictly a pacifist). Battles of Middle-Earth are less harmless than Rambo 2.
