Formed in 1988, '''AC&S Studio''' was a specialty game division of [[Microsoft Games|Microsoft]]. It was originally known as "Bruce Artwork Organization Limited" (BAO Lt) and became part of Microsoft in December 1995, when it became Microsoft Simulation Group. The AC&S name was first used on-screen in 2001, and it became the official name a year later. AC&S was closed on January 22, 2009 as part of a move that cut 5,000 jobs at Microsoft. "AC&S" stands for '''A'''ction, '''C'''ombat '''& S'''imulations, and the acronym is supposed to mean "Aces." |
