Fries: "These artists have ambitions of delivering games that push the bounds of what’s possible in video gaming, making them a perfect fit for Xbox. As their publisher, Microsoft will support them with technical support, testing, marketing and distribution power while the artists focus on bringing their imaginations to life on Xbox."Schafer: "Xbox is the first and best chance there is to create the games we’ve been hoping to do for years. Having Microsoft as a publisher is great because it’s got the determination and resources to make the game right, and to bring it to an enormous worldwide audience. It’s also exciting to work with because of its commitment not just to future-generation technology, but to future-generation content."
