| Stillwell said: LIVE costs nothing to operate, compared to what they bring in. I'd estimate that it's more like 50% of the fee that's pure profit. LIVE is a complete scam in my opinion, and I'll never pay for it. |
I wouldn't say Live costs nothing to operate.
It's the best model for game developers, they love it because it costs them nothing to make their games online.
And people think Live is just P2P, their are servers involved for the content to be downloaded from and for linking the players together in games.
I'm no expert but Microsoft has had to delete some content from the marketplace because it is costing them too much to keep it there. So ofcourse Xbox Live costs money to keep up and running.
