Some things to consider are that Microsoft reportedly wanted this game to feature Kinect and that they were really pushing "games as a service" at the time. A single-player RPG might not have fit Mattrick's vision for Xbox. We know a traditional Fable didn't.

Isnt that what they said? They didnt have a person that could adovate for why they should continue to get money to fund the project. They didnt have that 1 guy that believed in the project, when it needed it, and could say so to the people that held the money to make it. |
You worded it as though Obsidian didn't believe in the project when they clearly did. They just didn't have anyone in Mattrick's regime willing to go to bat for it.
Xbox leadership was making bad choice after bad choice at the time. I see no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt considering how things turned out.
