UPDATE: Just listened to this excellent podcast on the topic from podtech.net.
Sheesh, maybe my MSFT stock will be worth something one day! It seems my former employer is (at least tentatively) doing something smart by promoting user generated content for XBOX 360 via XBox live. I remember busting my arse trying to find a way for kids in my home town to be able to create games for xbox in an educational context. This is way better.
by: Karl LongWow, some amazing news coming from these big companies here related to social media:Microsoft now allowing “user generated games” on xbox 360 – The xbox 360 has two primary channels for delivering games to users, first through the standard packaged DVD, and additionally through it’s xbox live service, through the xbox arcade. The xbox live arcade has been a great hit from the begining allowing the distribution of cheap and often free addicting little games, and classic old arcade games. With the announcement of a fee game development tool that will allow developers and students to create games and share them with friends is really taking social gaming to another level.
