The second part of today's news, and also last for the week:

FABLE LEGENDS ATE UP $75 MILLION BEFORE IT WAS SHUT DOWN

http://www.pcgamer.com/fable-legends-ate-up-75-million-before-it-was-shut-down/

There's a great anecdote in Eurogamer's in-depth report on the creation, evolution and demise of Lionhead, told by Fable Art Director John McCormack, that really nails the essence of Peter Molyneux. “We had a meeting," McCormack said. "We'd not seen [Molyneux] in weeks because he had other things on. He opened the door, walked in and goes, the hero has a dog, and it dies. And then he left and we didn't see him again for another month. We were like, what the fuck? That was it. That was the direction.”

>>Ouch!

And that's it. Have a fun & gaming weekend!

He's a genius, but at the same time an overestimated a*hole. Funny to watch, but surely not for those that have to pay his bill. 

Thanks and good gaming & w/e to you too.

Reading the long, long article at Eurogamer's (have I said it's long?), shows that Lionhead was a great place to do what you want, but a terrible place to work on.

And Molyneux has a lot to blame for that.
