Molyneux says “platforms” in relation to Fable III, job listing says PC
Yeah. This probably isn’t so subtle. If Fable III’s coming to another platform, and Lionhead’s owned by Microsoft, and it’s already on 360, and there’s a Lionhead job listing that blatantly says there’s going to be cross-platform play between a 360 and PC version, that probably means there’s going to be a PC version. Right?
