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.

As a testament to the team's commitment to Shadowrun, we released three title updates to improve the product even after the team learned we were losing our studio. We have kept our Community Manager and Technical Support Manager on the job to aid and support you and will continue to do so while people continue to play our game. I am pleased that about half of us have found great positions elsewhere in MGS and Microsoft where they can share their experience and passion with the great people there.

But now, as the last of us say our goodbyes to each other, I’m saying goodbye to you on behalf of a group of talented and dedicated professionals who busted their humps for the love of the game. I am proud to have worked with and represented them to you and know that wherever they go, they will continue to kick ass.

Mitch

instead of telling us that, either ignore it because you don't know it or google it to learn what it is. Sorry, but comments like that just make me angry.

I never played the latest game since it was Vista only, though I had seen a patch to make it playable in XP. Also, I never played the Pen and Paper version, but had some friends that tried it, wanting something besides the fantasy world of D&D. They said it had a pretty good ruleset and enjoyed the time they spent playing it.

Oh, I've already got used to such things since EA closed down Origin.... 🙁

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

Good job MS? It's not their fault Shadowrun was a piece of shit cash in. FASA should have done a proper RPG instead of that pile.

It may not have been MS's fault that Shadowrun wasn't done justice, but it certainly WAS their fault for dooming it with a $60 price tag, no proper single-player mode, and no Windows XP support. They alienated a lot of their potential players that way.
