Microsoft Game Studios to open European branch
Good news for people who like 360 and PC games, but have always wished they could have a distinguished accent and know the lyrics to at least five Robbie Williams songs: Microsoft announced this morning that they'll be opening up a European office of Microsoft Game Studios.
The new branch will be based in Reading, UK and headed up by Phil Spencer, who's currently managing the MGS publishing business. He'll apparently still be in that position while he runs the new UK branch, which is designed to streamline relations with European companies like Lionhead, Rare, Bizarre Creations, Real Time Worlds and Remedy. Also part of the company's plan: Having loud parties outside Phil Harrison's house when he's trying to sleep ... cheeky devils.
