Which goes against what devs have said...

"Most importantly to us, Microsoft priced it so that it's far more affordable than other hosting options"

Nobody calls free 'more affordable'.

I'm sure will be some kind of indirect 'price' for this though, like need do something exclusive, be it timed release, DLC, whatever.

Could be any number of reasons for that wording.

Like, free. Free is more affordable than other hosting options.

MS changed their policy on this with developers.

Or, MS could have just not wanted developers to let people know it was free.

Either way they're now saying it's free so who cares. This could be huge for Xbone. I am imagining a library with games that never get taken offline anymore. Awesome.
