I have a lot of questions and I'm curious how the whole Xbox Live service 'works'. Can someone inform me some behind the doors stuff about the relationship between MS & 3rd parties regarding online content???
What does the money from Xbox live subscription being used for? I'm under the impression that MS provides some kind of assistance to 3rd parties if their game features online downloadable content, online multiplayer, etc. Does MS provide(rent?) them dedicated servers (or webspace?)? Or do 3rd parties have to boot up their own servers and management?
What about Sony? Does Sony provide anything to 3rd parties for them? 3rd parties are on their own when it comes to providing online play?
crappy old school NES games are more entertaining than next-gen games.
