EA and Peter Molyneux bailed out on Lionhead Studios a lot sooner then MS did.  If they would have stayed with EA they would have gotten disbanded a lot earlier.

You don't know that.
They were having financial troubles sure, but they could have also found investment elsewhere.

For all we know they might have made the next big AAA 50+ million selling franchise if they were allowed to deviate from Fable, it's not like their games weren't fun.

EA is pretty quick to disbanned studios if the game doesn't sell well enough 38 Studios is probably the prime example for that.  MS and EA isn't the only publisher that dropped Lionhead Studios though, Activision also dropped then since they made two The Movies titles for them which isn't that much of a surprise since Activison is also pretty quick to disband developers.
