Color me cautiously optimistic:
Microsoft said there are no application fees, no certification fees and no title update fees…. Registered developers will receive two Xbox One development kits at no cost, and access to the console’s full features, including the “full power of the console,” cloud, Kinect and Xbox Live toolsets and more…. Revenue splits will be “industry standard” Charla told us. (Digital deals often give the platform holder 30 percent, and the developer 70 percent.)
Oh, wait, are Microsoft still evil because they want developers to make money? I lose track.
Apparently, it’s Microsoft’s turn to play “Good Cop”.
