FASA Interactive was a video game developer that evolved from the role-playing game company FASA Corporation, founded in 1980 by Jordan Weisman and L. Ross Babcock. FASA Interactive (Previously known as FASA Interactive Technologies or FIT) was merged with Virtual World Entertainment to form Virtual World Entertainment Group (VWEG). In 1999, Microsoft Corporation purchased VWEG to acquire the talent at FIT. The VWE component of VWEG was sold off. FASA interactive is fully owned by Microsoft Game Studios. As such, the company develops games exclusive to PC and the Xbox 360 console. Its headquarters are located in Redmond, WA, only a few miles from Microsoft Corporation's main campus. FASA was officially shutdown on September 12, 2007 with only the Community Manager and Technical Support Manager positions remaining active to support their games.
