Microsoft bought lionhead.

sounds like bad news.
but it may work out.

the whole thing seems like a lion head was bailed out of a jam before it had to shut down. and so far...I havent heard anything about microsoft turning game developers into crap....yet.

lets just hope theirs no Black & White 3: Halo Edition.

Meh. I guess it's only positive if they were on the way out anyway. I attended a talk given by a guy who'd been with Rare for a long time and he said Microsoft didn't have as much influence as you might expect... except they suddenly stopped working with Java. :rolleyes:

maybe now that they going to be pretty solid financially they can pump out games without having to cut away too much.

its probably a way of insuring the development of fable 2
