Unfortunately, we had to skip a week despite recording a good podcast thanks to technical difficulties – don’t worry, we’ll air it at some point in the near future. It was a good episode. This episode had its own issues, as Jonah was unable to record the podcast at home, so he was outside in the New York City night air podcasting with TJ and Scott.
This week’s news includes:
- Microsoft cancels Fable Legends, closes Press Play Studios, considers shuttering Lionhead Studios UK
- Report: SpinTires developer sabotaged his own game
- 10 months later, MAME finishes its transition to open source
- Valve announces The Lab, a compilation of free VR “experiments”
Let us know what you think.

Microsoft’s fast to push out their press release, probably hoping to overshadow any reports Sony may be releasing for sales numbers. At this point, we’ll have to believe their press release as fact until someone proves it otherwise; Microsoft would hate to be caught in a lie. Unfortunately, NPD figures aren’t collected in Europe so we have to wait for all the other metric gathering companies to release final December 2007 figures.
