Microsoft cancels Fable Legends
Fable Legends has been canceled and Microsoft is discussing a "proposed closure" of Lionhead because under U.K. law, companies must meet certain requirements for mass layoffs. When more than 20 employees are planned to be made redundant, employees are allowed a minimum 30-day consultation period before any dismissals take place. During that consultation period, companies are obligated to seek alternatives to layoffs, including offering retraining or reassignment. Denmark based Press Play, developers of Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood and currently working on Project Knoxville will be closed. http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/7/11172408/fable-legends-canceled-lionhead-studios-closing I wasn't excited about Fable Legends being a free to play multi-player, but I was hoping for more single player installments of Fable down the road. Hopefully these employees will find a better life out from underneath Microsoft's thumb.

Its kind of funny when Evolve was first being shown around and everyone was like 4 V 1 is such an awesome genre idea. Then three games were announced Evolve, Shadow Lands, Fable Legends. Evolve came out and got meh results. Shadowlands CANCELLED. Fable Legends CANCELLED. TBH, im kind of surprised that it was even made to be a big deal. Cause seriously if its balanced you get the one player winning half the time and 4 people losing half the time. Which is something that most competitive players will not react well to.

The fable series has always baffled me with its popularity. The first one was an OK game. The sequels got consecutively worse while being extremely shallow. PM is one of the biggest con men in gaming imo. He is deluded and out of touch. With him out of the picture it may have even been ok. But as for this game Not.One.Care

Fable 1 is pretty epic. Gameplay was one of the best for action RPG at the time and story was epic. Knights of the old republic, jade empire, fable were like the great rpgs of that time frame. [I hated morrowind]. There were a LOT of lowsy rpgs trying for console experience/exclusive. Fable 2 was mediocre. Fable 3 was a disaster. TBH, Fable series has never been really well regarded. Fable 1 was certainly but the other 2 only sold well cause of Molyneux/Microsoft. Molyneux is 100% delusional/liar but he is one hell of a salesman it seems. People bought 3 and NO ONE liked it.

Totally. (and my view of Bethsoft being very overrated in general is probably well known around here at this point.) It was pretty hard to remove my palm from my face in the marketing of Fable two when Peter was trying to tell everyone the combat would be as deep as street-fighter with one button, and that wasn't even one of the more outrageous of his claims. Then I think he moved on too a kick-starter God game which appear to be a disaster and he can't hide behind the lies cause everyone can already play it =) Apparently it's terrible too.
