Fable 2 for the PC would've been epic...

bansama: Lionhead hasn't been closed yet. At this stage it is only proposed. People seem to be skipping that fact and immediately jumping to it already being decided. While ultimately closer is the most probably outcome, it's not 100% certain at this time.
seems more like a foregone conclusion to me
especially with a company as large and sluggish as microsoft

proposed pretty much means stake through the heart

Bouchart: For the life of me I don't know why Microsoft is in gaming at all. The vast majority of the money they make has been in business software and business servers, etc.
I'm sure they have a few shareholders wondering the same thing...

It's never been strictly about gaming with them, though. Or Sony, for that matter. It's about creating Trojan horses that can conquer your living room, so you'll end up with an all-in-one entertainment/internet/computer/home theater setup all from a single corporation that would also like to sell you all the media you consume.

they invested too much money already and are too stubborn to pull out

but its also not often that MS actually has competition and cant just money hat they way through

Believe it or not, if you read their original releases, Microsoft has stated this was their intent all the way back to the original Xbox.

i can believe it

xbox was just to test the wters and viability and basically a pc in console clothing

360 was an all out assault to get gamers behind the xbox brand

and the one becomes the hal 9000 all your data are belong to us trojan

too bad for MS gamers balked rather loudly at their plans ( for now )

RIP Fable. Sad to see another studio go.

But Fable Lengends...? I didn't even know that was a thing. That series went downhill quickly. Did they honestly believe another F2P MMORPG was a good idea?...

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS IS NOT AN MMORPG!!

MOBA is not the same as MMORPGs.

Why do people keep saying that League of Legends is an MMORPG? Dota 2 is not an MMORPG, Heroes of the Storm is not an MMORPG?

Its only proposed though; and I doubt MS will close down one of their own studios when they can at least make shilling games for their mutant and proud thing they're doing with Xbox and PC.

I played Fable 1 to 3 on consoles and was not a fan.. To be honest, I'm not feeling any sadness or sense of loss at this announcement.

Idea: GOG swoops in, buys Lionhead's legal "portion" of Black and White series, then heads over to EA to negotiate fixing and releases on GOG and eventually Origin. Moneys. (Assuming the rights are actually split)

:P

Well I am still dissipointed at how Fable devoled into because the first one at least had a charm and identity to it.

It could have been expanded upon, but sadly it was regressed upon.
