Microsoft Lets Xbox Live Users Build And Sell Their Own Games
"If it passes a peer review, creators will receive up to 70% of the total revenue generated by their game.
Microsoft on Tuesday said it’s opening up the popular console to games created by gamers using the company’s XNA Game Studio software. "We’re creating an opportunity for aspiring developers to start their careers on the world stage," said Chris Satchell, chief technology officer at Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment unit, in a statement.
Under the plan, individual Xbox game creators can sell titles they’ve made using XNA with other gamers over Microsoft’s online Xbox Live service, which boasts more than 10 million users." writes informationweek.com
