I really do like Spencer, he seems far more inclined to cut through as much of the BS as possible, within reason of course, and have to give full props for him just coming out and saying it. In theory he could have just kept his mouth shut without technically speaking falsely, especially given how easily it could have been waved off as 'I just didn't see the tweet!' Instead, he took the time to set the record straight, and that's refreshing when the industry seems so comfy with downplaying, vague evasions, and PR talk.
As for it being available to all titles, I'm more surprised that, again, this was outright confirmed than I am that it's the case. Microsoft is more than just Xbox, and ultimately it'll act in whatever way will benefit the company as a whole, rather than just that division. I.e., the fact that they're sharing more exclusives on PC, and even the fact that they seem to be planning to use Minecraft to make money, (with the platform-freedom that comes with,) rather than leveraging it as Microsoft-platform exclusive. Heck, there's even a Wii U release now! =P
But as said before, I quite like Spencer, and this is certainly interesting news. Curious as to whether any publishers (or even the other two platform owners) have thoughts about trying their hand with cloud computing on Azure. There might be sort of a collective wait-and-see attitude to see how it pans out with Crackdown.
