@ People who responded to me

I should clarify, I meant the whole make your own games, and then have them on XBOX Live thing... XNA isn't a ripoff, obvioiusly, but as said, XNA has been out for years now, as has XBL and the 360. Why wait so long to do that, and never even mention doing this, but a year after LBP is announced, user created content on XBL is all over the place, yet Epic can't get mods on XBL a few months ago... It just seems weird to me.

I think MS has probably had this in the works for quite some time... And this is vastly different than LBP. Community members get to actually create games, not levels for one game.

For homebrew programmers and indie people that want into the industry, this is huge news. You get access to full-fledged tools and get public recognition for your programming abilities for free. 


I think that they haven't.  And since we neither have proof either way, all we can go on is what happend, which is LBP was announced last year, and now this year, they announce XNA, and it just seems suspiciously close to me.
