Maybe but created by Microsoft for simly closing the studio rather then restructuring.

The company already went through a restructuring.  Without knowing the full details as always, internet forums just throw up a whole lot of crap in the air and hopes it sticks.

100 employees let go that can now go to other studios.

Yes because it's working, hence the comments on here. It's what they want, Sony will come across as the nice guys. Smart move.

Why would anyone think this is a PR stunt?

Now this truly is "Good Guy Sony".

I'm in for a WRPG! Say what you want about Fable, but I really enjoyed 1-3. Sure 3 was flawed, but I still had a good time.

I think this is pretty standard for companies to do. When talent opens up you go for it. Same thing happened when 38 Studios went under (for example)

What I'm trying to say is that its not a PR move, but its also not something that just Sony does.

I think Microsoft will soon find that their synergy idea won't work if Sony gets a massive amount of exclusives.

Dat jab against MS though xD!

Great for the ex-lionhead devs.

If anything comes out of this - hopefully we'll see a new wRPG.

We could see a new one but I'm likely not going to see myself playing it =/.

Though I really do miss Fable II and we still don't have III back on Steam yet.

That's a great PR move, hope a good number of them are able to find work.
