So this just happened:

So Microsoft are basically licensing out the Age of Empires IP without the require that the game should also be released day 1 on Windows Phone.
This made my blood boil as a day 1 Windows Phone supporter. As the owner of the bloody platform, Microsoft should be the #1 contributor for it's success, and not allow their own IP's to be first released on competing platforms.
Our community is know to be very vocal, so I say that we should let Microsoft know how disappointed we are.
These are the following twitter accounts you should bombard with tweets: @XboxP3 @notwen @MrPhilHarrison @Xbox @PlayXBLA @joebelfiore @XboxQwik @aarongreenberg @majornelson

Today, KLab Inc. announced a licensing agreement with Microsoft Corp. to develop a mobile version of Microsoft Studio's Age of Empires franchise, which will be initially developed in English for iOS and Android and launched globally, with plans to release the game in other languages and on Windows Phone in the future. Some reports included incorrect information about additional Xbox Live-based games on iOS and Android but there are no further announcements beyond Age of Empires at this time
