Microsoft snaps up Lionhead Studios
Reported over at BBCNews Microsoft has bought Lionhead Studios, most noted in the machinima community for its game 'The Movies':
The purchase of Mr Molyneux's Lionhead Studios is part of Microsoft's efforts to secure exclusive titles for its new console, the Xbox 360.Will this be a strong boost to The Movies or fade to black like Microsofts original machinima vision '3D Movie Maker' so many years ago (yes, they were there even before 'quake movies'...).

Molyneux is a smart guy; he'll survive in the MS atmosphere. His game design will be more middle-class now and there won't be as much originality. It's possible there might be a machinima tool in the works. But remember Moly's refusal to call films made in The Movies, machinima?
