Did we have another thread with this title before? Or is my memory just a little off? Anyways, yeah, that's unfortunately how PR works.

All those things lie in the past, maybe he learned from it?

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

You forgot Fable Legends, which would appear on both Xbox and Windows 10, which was announced in 2013 and cancelled in 2016.

And for which I'm still absolutely livid for. The closure of Lionhead will for me forever be associated with Microsoft (along with the closure of Ensemble).

That certainly is true for everything console. Change is scary.
