Poll - Allegiance on XBox360
I pay 150 a month just to get broadband, otherwise I am stuck with 40 kbps dial-up that drops often.
I think the fee KGJV is talking about would be to support the servers and NOT make a profit. If anything close to a profit was approached we'd be violating the release agreement. Even for an Alleg 'like' game, the MS 'guys' take a pretty broad interpretation on their trade marks and copyrights, neither of which they have relinquished.
That aside, I'd guess MS would not care if a free version was released, if it meant more Xbox360 sales.
Personally, I'd rather see the effort go into cleaning up the current code but I can see the allure of a new dev platform rather than digging around in old and moldy code.
I for one dislike console games, but that is a personal preference.

Geometry Wars is the only game worth playing on the 360. Mass Effect and Allegiance 2.0 are the only 2 that may change my mind in this regard /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Screw the X-Box, port it to PS3 (after you've studied for 4 years on how to program anything efficiently on that monster /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ) Online play is free for the PS3 so our poor students don't have to pay the $50 per year. Imagine how many voicechats you can fit on blueray disc? Or how many Lima pictures as a bonus /wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":iluv:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" />

So, 12 years worth of Xbox subscriptons up front is supposed to be easier on the pocketbook?
Apparently a California "cabin" is any place more than 4 blocks from a McDonalds.
