Games for Windows Live marketplace being retired.

The client will still remain active in games, but digital games can no longer be bought on Xbox.com, and whether or not DLC remains available is up to individual publishers. Still no word what the next generation of Xbox Live will bring to Windows 8.

Xbox Community Level

Members participate in Xbox Community Ambassadors or the Enforcement United beta, and on the backend, we track your participation, calculate your XP, and award loot to your Gamertag as you level up. There’s no need to opt in to earn rewards, submit your activity, or create a new profile. We’ll take care of the heavy lifting.

Looks like leveling your gamertag was successful enough for Valve/Steam that Microsoft is jumping on the bandwagon too. I wonder how long until they add trading cards t

Microsoft Is Removing Xbox One DRM

Always on DRM is being removed, with the One only requiring a connection once to set the console up. Their used game/borrowing policy has also shifted to mimic Sony’s.

The official statement from Don Mattrick:

Since unveiling our plans for Xbox One, my team and I have heard directly from many of you, read your comments and listened to your feedback. I would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One.

Thoughts on the Xbox One, Part II

Continuing from my last post about the Xbox One reveal, I wanted to talk a little more about what happened yesterday at the Microsoft E3 press conference.

Russian Hacker Ports Xbox 360 Game to PC

The developer’s response:

I’m kind of livid myself, I just see him as the overly-entitled gamer saying ‘I deserve this because I want it!’ I was saying earlier on Twitter ‘Halo: Spartan Assault only on Windows 8 devices! That Russian guy should port it FOR GREAT JUSTICE!’ Like James though, he’s going to do what he’s going to do and it’s kind of impressive but trying to justify it morally really irks me.

For great justice, indeed.

Survey Says Only 50% Users Willing to Pay for Xbox Live

In an informal survey by Kotaku, out of 400 replies, roughly half say they won't tolerate an online fee for Xbox One. Anytime anyone ever says they wont tolerate a bad service or will boycott it, I’m reminded of this gem.

Xbox One Backwards Compatibility

Today’s quote of the day comes from Don Mattrick, head of Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business:

If you’re backwards compatible, you’re really backwards

Microsoft and Sony Diverge on Gaming ‘Cloud’Microsoft and Sony have taken diverging approaches in their expanding war for the hearts and minds of gamers. Yes, their next-generation consoles both offer high-fidelity games, and they can both play music and movies. But the rest is rather different.The Wall Street JournalIan Sherr

Indie developers cannot self-publish on Xbox One

Not a big surprise. I could see them mimicking Steam Greenlight to get more the popular indie titles on the service though.
