Ilomilo's developers Southend Interactive recently posted a FAQ on their blog
"Today I will answer some frequently asked questions… and also some less frequently asked questions that I find relevant nonetheless.
—————-
Q: When are you guys going to release ilomilo?
A: It hasn’t been announced yet, but it should be this year at some point.
Q: What formats are you releasing ilomilo for?
A: So far it has only been announced for XBLA, but there is a possibility we will release it for other formats in the future.
Q: I’m a Playstation 3 owner and it doesn’t look like you will be releasing ilomilo for PSN. Does this mean you hate PSN?
A: No, we do not hate PSN. In fact we released Tecmo bowl for PSN just recently so we have nothing against it at all. We always want our games to be available on as many platforms as possible, but those decisions are up to the publishers to make."
Sure, there was online gaming back in the day but the modern age of online video gaming began almost twenty years ago with Xbox Live 1.0.
Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.
That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony
"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."
The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.
I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.

Vote for either Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Store at the bottom of the article! 🎮😄
Carlos writes - "Whether the idea of dusting off that library of Xbox 360 games for a spin once more is for you or not, the fact that there are now almost 400 titles available to play through backwards compatibility is certainly impressive. Nevertheless, for many gamers, more is better and now we see five new titles made playable on Xbox One.
But are they worth heading back to once more, or should we stick with the abundance of new titles gracing the Xbox Store in recent weeks."
Honestly it is sad enough a developer has to get hate mail over something they can't control. I ask all fan-boys (of all consoles) to really not take it to the point where you start attacking them.. I've seen millions of comments on their youtube pages with people bashing them to their faces.. Seriously grow up, same applies to 360 owners bashing PSN games, it's alright to be jealous and not get everything
