It won't be reborn until it dies. And it no longer becomes a profit driven business and becomes a hobby again.
The things that made this genre great were that it was full of hobbiests who all were well versed in prolific arts and crafts through DnD and LOTR.
It won't happen again until we get a new silmaril.

I agree. Private studios with some angel investing is what it is needed. Pantheon is the best example of this attempt, but its been in development for like....10 years? Dying gasp of a passion project.
Shareholder interest companies tear the passion out of game development. Really glad I didn't end up in the industry, seems to be a chew up and spitout type culture these days when you read the interviews on former game devs.
