I think it's a move by Microsoft to make people content without modding their XBOX.

How does letting people make games in C# make pirates happy?

This is awesome. It's almost making me want to get back into C#. We should all make a game or something!

People didn't mod their XBOX's only to pirate games.

I read about this a couple days ago, and I think it's a really good idea.  I've been saying for awhile that I'm looking forward to the day when some game console lets regular people program their own games.  That's really cool.

I downloaded it and I am planning on giving it a try. I think you have to pay to make games for your 360 which kinda sucks  :-\. So, it might not fix the whole "pirating" issue.

And Microsoft is behind it.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Weird how I was talking to iago about this today and I've never seen this thread.

I've been using this for a few days and have a lot of code written already.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Yeah, you have to pay something like $45 for 3 months to use the whole developer service thing, and I'm not sure but I think that's on top of an XBox Live Gold subscription.

It's a move by microsoft to make homebrew developers happy, same as linux on the PS3, but it's not good enough damnit, I want XBMC360

What's XBMC360?
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!
