SGR Coffee Break 55 - Let's Talk Lionhead

This week brought the news that Microsoft was cancelling Fable Legends. While those in my circle of friends really didn’t care about the cancellation of this game, it was the following rumor that got us a bit teary eyed. From what the rumor mill is all but certain of, Microsoft is planning to shutdown Lionhead Studios. This studio might not pump out games as fast as say EA or Ubisoft, they were part of what got Microsoft off the ground with Fable on the original Xbox. We never like to see rumors, or confirmations, that a studio is getting shutdown. Sadly, that seems to be the way of the industry lately. If this does become true, and it’s looking that way, we hope all those affected can find new employment quickly and effortlessly.
