This could have been spent on game development


Lol, even if this cost a billion dollars which, it didn't, you think M$ or the people who more than likely paid to get the app on the console, (logic dude) Pizza Hut will run out of money and not develop more games? Lol. I hope you're kidding.

You're implying that pizza hut paid for this?

I'm sure pizza hut is paying a sum like 50cents to 1 dollar to MS for this service per order..  there are these food order websites like http://www.just-eat.com/
where the seller pays a percentage of the total order to justeat.. for the seller such a service is great.. I heard stories of revenue going up by 60% because they joined justeat.. can't see that MS wouldn't charge Pizza hut..

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was going to say something similar to that. Another point I was going to make is that if they didn't charge them that way they'd charge them just for putting it on xbox live. If they charge people to make patches for arcade games you can be sure as he'll MS is getting money from this one way or another. A win win business deal. They both make money from this deal, how much? Only they know.

And isn't that how game developers make money as well? You make money by developing an application.
So what's the argument? Time and energy could be spent making games.
