Reasonable on 21 August 2009
Not sure why folks seem to be focusing on the code/engine side of things. The comment clearly indicates its a contractual issue to do with how SE want to operate an MMO on consoles vs how MS want them to operate said MMO on Live.
Don't know enough about PSN or Live regarding such elements but its obvious that some aspect of MS mandatory rules for Live clashes with what SE want - hence negotiations as indicated. Either MS need to cave in and make this some sort of special case or convince SE to adapt their approach to Live.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
