I would like to point out that this does not necessarily mean that Fable is dead. In fact, Microsoft's intention here might be to put Fable in better hands. Impossible to say, of course, but Microsoft has shown a desire to keep using older IP. Perhaps Fable Legends is not the direction they're looking for.
It's also quite possible that members of Lionhead will find other positions within Microsoft Studios. We might even see something new in the model of 343 Industries.
I'm interested to see if there is any followup to this.
