I remembered raging fairly hard against Shadowrun last year (see also, "Shadowrun...now with 95% less Shadowrunning"), and had a bit of a bittersweet phase of shadenfreude when I heard that FASA Interactive finally went under not too long ago. My greatest fear is that we'll never see another good Shadowrun game. Likely as not, the relatively failure of the Shadowrun FPS (a game few, if any, Shadowrun fans even wanted), Microsoft may very well lay a share of the blame on the IP.
