FUCK I DIDNT WANT THE WHOLE STUDIO TO SHUT DOWN
Microsoft is brutal like that. Did the same to Ensemble even though they just made the best selling console RTS of all time.

Ensemble wasn't shut down. It was split into two different companies. The people who wanted to continue with RTS games stayed at one and the people who wanted to work on other genres went to the other.
They were shut down. I'm not saying they didn't later create two separate companies, but Microsoft did shut them down.

Fable 1 was a good game, but I remember it being a big deal for not being what they promised.  The games got worse and worse from then on.  They never got challenging.  Ever.

Lionhead is a pretty shit studio so whatever, sucks that people are out of jobs though. Even the "good" fable games (1/2) aren't too great, they're just okay. Fable 3 and the spin offs are all laughably bad.

Does making the best console RTS have much weight behind it? I can see with the PC since they are far more popular but when it comes to consoles hardly anybody makes them. To me making the best RTS game for a console doesn't seem to be that big of an achievement when there's hardly any RTS games for consoles. Also if Halo Wars was a PC game would it do well compared to what's out there for that system?
Halo Wars isn't the best console RTS dough

Press Play (the guys that did Max: the curse of brotherhood, and Kalimba) will be shuttered too apparently. Sorta sucks, seeing as Guildford is just down the road from me and I am acquainted with one or two people at Lionhead.

Your health is low, do you have any potions? Or food?

I think some small part of me wanted to see Lionhead Studios do something amazing with the Fable series. This is kind of disappointing.
