Looks like they're making quite a few "reversals" lately.

It'll probably be no more than Apple take already.

I think it's a good thing - we'll very most likely see an AppGameKit player for the XBO because of it. How cool would that be - AppGameKit building straight to your xbox. I hope we'll see Game Maker/SEUCK style programs too, game designers have to start somewhere, and the easier it is, the younger they'll start.

I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more memes.
