WTF is wrong with ms? Many jobs lost and a game that was almost done down the drain...

Really bud? Lionhead failed to deliver a game that was in development for over 5 years. The game was going to use the free to play model and it's clear that this game was going to bomb. Probably a totally flawed product in the end. Lionhead has driven the fable brand to the ground.

Fable 1 - 85 metacritic
Fable: The lost chapter - 83 metacritic
Fable 2 - 89 metacritic
Fable 3 - 75 metacritic
Fable: The Journey - 61 metacritic
Fable Anniversary - 68 metacritic
Fable Legends - CANCEL

 

Being a first party studio, I wouldn't be surprised if LH were asked by MS to create the Kinect Fable and the anniversary edition. Can't blame LH if the games were commissioned / ordered by MS.
