As long as Molyneux doesn't leave before Fable 2 comes out, I'm happy that Microsoft locked them up. I'm playing Fable for the 5th or 6th time through (along with Oblivion) so I can't wait for the sequel.

Sorry I didnt search for 'Fable Developer'. I searched for Lionhead and Lionhead Studios, nothing came up so I posted.

No big deal really, just busting your chops. ;)


Now let's just hope they come out with some sort of sequel.
