hmm lets see ...
1) take a Intellectual Property that has a large fan base
2) get bought out by Microsoft
3) make a game "based" on the IP of #1
3a) Totally ignore the IP of the game
5) Profit! um no

Dear Friends,
It is my sad duty to announce that FASA Studio has officially closed its doors. Today was the official last day of employment for those of us who had not moved on to other positions within Microsoft Game Studios. While the rumors have been circulating forever, we chose to wait on an official announcement because we didn’t want people’s attention distracted from our last product, Shadowrun, a game we love.
They done f*ked up and there is no one to blame but FASA and Microsoft Games Studio.
