From that Eurogamer feature on Lionhead:

John McCormack remembers butting heads with Microsoft's marketing department over Fable.

"The marketing was shit," he says. "It was terrible. They just didn't get it. But it wasn't Microsoft's marketing. Marketing was like its own department. And they were going, what are you making? An RPG? Right, dragons and shit. And that was their advert. And we were like, no, ours is a Monty Python-esque comedy. And they went, look, we know how to market RPGs. And they opened the RPG marketing drawer and pulled out a picture of a dragon that wasn't even in the game and went there you go. That's your market. The market for that game is your average Dungeons & Dragons fare. And we were like, this game's totally different.

"That annoyed me."

McCormack was further incensed over a row over the box art for Fable 3.

"They were going, you can't have a black person on the cover, and you can't have a woman. And you want a black woman. And I was like, yes, I do, because it's about be whatever hero you want. No. It's a white guy. That's just the way it is. We know what sells and that's fucking it. Stop the arguing. I was like, fuck you! That was a huge fight.

"They said, what's the most unsuccessful Disney film? I was like, I don't know. They went, Princess and the Frog. Work it out. I was like fuck you, man. I hated it.

"I was screaming at them in conference calls. I lost it at that point, because they just weren't getting the game. Especially because we were the first ever game that had gay marriage, we were about breaking down walls. It was meant to be funny and mature. They just took none of it and just did the usual white guy with a sword on the front. Damn it! You missed the point!"

At first, I was all kinds of hot that Zimmerman's gun bidding was up to $485,000, but then I saw that the bidders were trolling that fuckface. Feels good. I hope for nothing but misery for that asssucking fuckhole. Fuck him.

Wish you good luck. Having a black woman on the cover is made to seem like the hardest thing ever

Forgettable, not too good overall. Not like the first at all. Can't even think of a standout, honestly. Some of the instrumental tracks are okay.

💀💀💀 There was an accident on my way, all my coworkers showed up late. Sat for a half hour in darkness 'cause that accident hit a poweline because my city is in the dark ages where those aren't beneath the ground.

The Doom opening is pretty great. It seems like it has a more stylized art style than the previous games, I never noticed until now but all the enemies look almost cartoonish.

I didn't really know who McCormack was before, but he just gained a TON of respect in my eyes and MS marketing lost a ton. They can get fucked. I hope he has success with whatever he does next

Niggas really pray to these dudes just because they can string together some 0s and 1s


It is an admiraly talent and they deserve praise for that. But I am sure Esco, Massive, Frye, and Bish would be disturbed if I built shrines to them. Virtual or real ones.

Beef might like that shit, being a Sonic fan and what not
