>"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.' [According to McCormack, Microsoft said] 'No. It's a white guy. That's just the way it is. We know what sells and that's f**king it. Stop the arguing.' I was like, 'F**k 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, "F**k you, man.' I hated it."
>McComack went on to say that Microsoft "missed the point" of Fable III overall by putting a traditional-looking, male hero on the cover.
>"I was screaming at them in conference calls," he said. "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!"
who cares i have never had less fun with a game because of the cover maybe someone would have thought twice about the design if there wasn't a standard dudebro on the cover who cares who cares who cares

Holy shit imagine have to deal with such a sperg >Microsoft: we have to act in the best interest of the company >McComack: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Seriously, what is wrong with appealing to the largest consumer of your product?
Josiah Long
Microsoft knew they still wanted to make money on a game that had very few other selling points. they are saving gaming by not pandering, appreciate them and their 6 teraflops

>Implying it would have hoped that train wreck at all.
Just remember, there's an actual area named Mourning Wood in the game.

>I want a black whore on the cover damn it! >no you fucking idiot why?! >because it's about being WHOEVER YOU WANT!
Microsoft should have forced his dumbass to put just a white silhouette on the front after that comment.
Landon Thomas
All I know is it certainly wasn't the stereotypical white male hero on the cover that made Fable III such a shit game.
I actually thought about buying it, until I realized I already had. Then I remembered the game, then I remembered why I forgot I even owned it. Shame on Lionhead, I really liked them for a while back in the early 00's

Learn to use that correctly.

is there some rule that a cover has to have a person on it or something?
Elijah Cox
this explains why the game was so fucking bad then, they spent all their resources trying to make it 'progressive' rather than good

I used to really love Lionhead studios, but after reading this article I swear to god I will never support that company again.
