Well, Lionhead can't get much worse than they already are right now ...

Trust me, they'll get a lot better now without Peter.

I doubt it, MS seems hellbent on diluting all of its franchises, it's a real shame.

Kinda hope they're second or 3rd next gen, so they have to fight for their place again.

Well, Halo and Forza are doing very well, but Rare and Lionhead have been ruined by Kinect it seems. I'm starting to hate Kinect!

Unexpected.

 

OT: Guys are being too harsh on this guy. Fable was one of the better stuff and I used to give some respect to Molyneux for being a part of it. I don't know about just one guy, but lionhead is definitely worse off now with all the (5?) guys leaving them.

Fable 3 didn't sell more than 5M on 360. By his own admission the 360 has been an artistic failure for him or he's been an artistic failure for MS. Either way, for someone with as big an ego as Petey, that's gotta hurt.
