'Fable II' Community Lead Describes Challenges Of Passionate, Critical Fans

And while others working on "Fable II" start to plan vacations, his responsibilities are ramping up because much of the community effect comes after launch.

"My crunch only gets worse," he told MTV at this year's PAX. "When the game comes out, people start playing it and then everyone's got an opinion!"
