Firm Asks Microsoft to Stop Dragging Xbox Down

[RvLeshrac]

Imagine if Valve could be able to bring its magic to the Xbox 360.

Imagine if Valve made a console...Imagine...

Goldman Sachs doing something that doesn't involve stealing money? And it's a good idea? Whaaaa? Is it backwards day on Planet Glorbna?

OT: I could go for this. Plus with Xbox not being associated with Microsoft, more people could be brought into it because a lot of gamers don't like Xbox because they are with Microsoft. My firend is one of them. He hates anything dealing with MS.

This isn't a good idea, this is a terrible idea. The XBox is only a successful brand because Microsoft is behind it and shares technology between the XBox and Windows platforms. The 360 is incredibly easy to develop for, and Windows development from existing XBox code (or vice-versa) is easy.

That technology sharing is free now, but I guarantee it would cost substantially more than half-million dollars a year if these were two separate entities.

This is the same short-sighted nonsense that Goldman was spouting when they grabbed our ankles and pulled us into the gaping maw of economic hell.

I would like for people who "hate anything dealing with MS" to stay the hell away from my tech. That line of thinking shows an incredible lack of intelligent thought.
