can someone really read that? does it say what i think it says??
"...recent sale of FASA Interactive to Microsoft, and with it the rights
to all FASA game titles..."
can someone from FASA, or someone who knows someone at FASA,
confirm this? what it looks like to me is that MS now owns the rights
to their games. i am HOPING that they are just talking about video/pc
game rights, and not the rights to the book games as well.
this does not sound good.

well, that is cool at least. dragons is something i have wanted to come
out
for a while, even after the discontinuation of the line.
