Plague Director (Content Manager) Award Score: 225 Recent awards:	Microsoft Buys Game Studio Lionhead By Plague on Fri 7th Apr, 06 at 05:41:50 Microsoft Buys Game Studio Lionhead By Nate Mook, BetaNews April 6, 2006, 1:15 PM Microsoft announced Thursday it had acquired British game developer Lionhead Studios, creator of the popular "Fable" role-playing game. The news came alongside a promise that Microsoft would remain committed to the Japanese market, where RPGs are far more popular than the first person shooters preferred in the United States. Lionhead will develop games exclusively for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft's Windows desktop operating system. The studio's founder Peter Molyneux said the deal will give Lionhead "the stability and opportunity to focus on creating world-class next-generation titles." Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,1747926,00.html

In essence, every game Peter Molyneux has made is an unrealized dream. While it's cool to hear that's he's always believed in his work, and has often put money from his own pocket into developing long shots...this pattern isn't going to change anytime soon. Hence his independent developer...getting bought again. We've got a lot more "Gee, that was great...I just wish he would fucking do something with it" ahead of us.
