Well, I wasn't originally going to be the one to tell you about all of this, seeing as how it isn't my news; it's Rex's. But he has been procrastinating the sharing of this information for some time now... and soon it'll be old news if one of us doesn't say something about it. We'd especially hate for HBO to scoop us on it!
Well, just like informing someone of a death in the family, there's no easy way to say this. So I'll just say it. Microsoft bought Rex like a cheap six-pack of maple syrup! That's right- the shifty Canuck SOLD OUT, damn him! We hope you're happy Rex! Really! We forgive you for leaving us with this proprietary witchdoctor code and everything. In fact, we'll pray for your accursed soul as you toil away endlessly, chained to a desk made of Redmond brimstone. Good riddance!
