    Microsoft never should've shut them down, it seems like a studio that would've cashed in for them. The only RTS games that I have enjoyed have been Age of Empires. It's nice to see that they're still around though and that people aren't out jobs, or as many.

    Wow, so Microsoft was like "Thanks for Halo Wars, Now you leave." The studio could have made so much more good exclusives for the 360. Microsoft are idiots ; ;
