Why are any of you suprised. Microsoft has a record of closing first party studios. They killed 2 of my favorites Digital Anvil and FASA interactive. Its part of their strategy to be the new EA. Moral of the story is if your a developer avoid being bought by MS. Rares time will come as soon as they create the next Shadowrun.

 

if im not mistanken m$ or who ever owned shawdowrun sold the right to some comapny so no shadowrun for rare

I think he means the next game that flops as hard as Shadowrun.

Exactly Rare has not really lived up to expectations since MS aquired them. Shadowrun killed FASA. I would not be suprised to see Rare go that way if they don't pick up their game.
