To act as if this isn't a big deal is to ignore the bigger picture, here. 

The only way this would have been a big deal if they actually made something decent recently.  Criterion Games and Team Bondi no longer being around is a bigger deal since their last/only games where actually good.

They really didn't have a choice to focus on games other than Fable. - Black and White showed that they had some amazing creativity in that studio, would have liked for them to have had more creative freedom to work on other projects.
