They are in the middle of the ABK deal or im certain they would of bought those studios. It only make sense how cheap they were and how close they are working with their own studios.I’ve high hopes for this despite initial reservations. Fable is the only game that Microsoft, Bethesda and ABK have announced that I’m interested in so I have a lot riding on it in terms of what I want from Xbox.
I definitely think it was announced far too soon, and I have concerns about the humour, but I’m wishing the whole team well and want to will this into a strong existence
The news that Eidos Montreal is involved raises questions as to why Microsoft didn’t buy the western SE studios.
