Thats why they wont allow self publishing because they want any kind of piece of the pie they can. Anyone with half a brain who thinks cloud will just magically make the xbox one into a super high end pc is lost in microsoft la la land. You really think microsoft would waste their money giving u dedicated servers when they dont give u jack for xbl? They make u pay just to access facebook, netflix, youtube, which shouldnt be the case. Im telling you those dedicated servers is to track every freakin person who buys xbox one & take data on who has what game & so on. They definitely want to get rid of used games period & ill give them credit for having the balls to even try such a thing but i will not be a part of what they are trying to lead the gaming industry to & if they succeed with this. I fear the gaming industry on consoles will die out because of them. If they really cared for gamers, they wouldnt be doing this in the first place. Why try an change something that worked just fine with the 360? Smh.

So everything that has come out their mouth lately is a lie? So DRM, the price, etc were all lies.....sweet, let me go reorder another. Sweeping generalizations for the win. Anyhow.... I wonder what is Microsoft's logic for going so hard against the grain? Couple dollars today for a taken empire tomorrow?

Exactly what I was about to say.

Microsoft needs to address indie developers differently and be more supportive. That is where the original ideas and creativity stem from the most. Instead it seems like they want games like Limbo that they believe will become hits. A lot of indie developers just love to create games for the love of it and don't necessarily care about becoming millionaires.

I'm sure MS has deals with more than a few indie devs. We'll see what happens when those deals expire. Being under contract is a bit different from loving to work with the One and MS.

"Same goes for sony"

Very true, but early indications are that Sony is more accommodating to indie devs. We'll see how things pan out as the generation goes along.

Once contracts expire, they have to decide whether to renew or move on. Money is a factor, no doubt, but not the only one and not necessarily the most important.

Soulstorm is a remake / re-imagining of Exoddus.

We need Stranger's Wrath.
