Microsoft Buys Lionhead Studios

This is good. Lionhead, an already incredibly determined company, can now stop worrying about money and just dish out some more Fables..

It's also good because they're no longer pressured by deadlines from a heavy publisher!

The Penny Arcade guys take a jab at this aquisition saying that because Lionhead mostly makes games for Microsoft platforms anyways, that buying them is like paying them to accept money. They suggest that Microsoft is doing it purely out of wanting to collect companies.

And I chuckled most heartily.

If you have the money, thats what you do, buyout companies so that the competition doesnt have access to them. Then turn around and make games subpar or decent
