FASA Studios Now Out of Business

Posted by Zonk on from the sad-that-i'm-not-sad dept.

PhoenixOne writes "Another chapter in the long and sometimes-frustrating history of the name 'FASA' comes to a close today, as Microsoft's FASA Studio has closed its doors. '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.'"

    Still the only RPG I've played where I spent 5 hours creating the character and 5 minutes getting him killed.

      Traveller is still the only rpg that I know of where your character can die during character creation. But you save yourself so much time that way.
