Good riddance, now Lionhead can actually make decent games.

Well, Lionhead can't get much worse than they already are right now ...

Trust me, they'll get a lot better now without Peter.



So funny to see people trying to blind itself for the true
that Rare have been destroyed by Microsoft..

What about the other 4 key staff that left last week, including the invetor of fable, seems like it might be a ship without any captain now, will not end well, if they dont turn it around quick.

I doubt it, MS seems hellbent on diluting all of its franchises, it's a real shame.

Kinda hope they're second or 3rd next gen, so they have to fight for their place again.

Well, Halo and Forza are doing very well, but Rare and Lionhead have been ruined by Kinect it seems. I'm starting to hate Kinect!

@enditall727: Jaffe and Ueda left for mobile gaming, so chances of Peter doing the same is pretty high.


actually i think Jaffe left Eat Sleep Play, BECAUSE they were going for mobile gaming.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

This should be interesting to see what direction new development from Molyneux takes.

There is nothing out there about "22 Cans" -- except this quote from its webpage:

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Hehe it's funny to see how everyone is happy for two completely different reasons.

Some think he was ruining Lionhead and Fable will be better others are happy because he can now return to making masterpieces like Populous, Dungeon keeper or Black&White :D

All this Kinect Hate is annoying.

BTW Molyneux not microsoft wanted to make fable kinect. He pretty much forced it.

Wrong, Rare had free rein for years but everything they made flopped, it was not until Kinect Sports that they made a good profit.
