You don`t -have- to read the hobbit
But a lot of people will want to.

It's all about perception.
If SE made it clear the new story has NOTHING to do with this one, then i could understand
But If people think "I missed out on the beginning of the story" or "everyone else will know about this but me", they will be less likely to pick up "an old game"
