 Keith Ranger Dolliver was appointed to the board of directors for Playground Games. He is the VP & Deputy General Counsel of Business and Corporate Development at Microsoft

 Edit: Looking into it more, seems Keith Dolliver is appointed as director during a merger and acquisition time. He was appointed to Lionhead, Rare, and LinkedIn previously

That'd be a huge win for Ms. Playground makes Forza Horizon and are really good at that. Also they are making a non racing game.

Rumor mill is saying that this is just one of multiple new studios that they've acquired/started. Will be interesting if E3 blows us away and they double their first party size or if the other studios are just hot air.
