===Background===
'''Ensemble Studios''' was founded in 1995 and was located in Dallas, Texas. In 2001, it was acquired by [[Xbox Game Studios|Microsoft]]. They are most famous for developing the ''Age of Empires'' series. In September 2008, it was confirmed that Microsoft would shut down the studio following the release of ''Halo Wars'' as a fiscally-rooted decision. Tony Goodman, along with a number of veteran developers, announced in February 2009 to have founded the studio Robot Enteetainment. A second team of about 35 developers announced to have founded Bonfire Studios in the same month, followed by the creation of two more studios: Newtoy and Windstorm Studios.
