for the privilege of letting other people download your game for free. Also, I think that the license is much more liberal if you compile your game to .NET bytecode, so another win for the PC over XBLA.


Yah - $99 a year for the ability to compile and run on an XBox360 - and to submit them to the community. Compiling to a regular executable for a PC is free and clear. Just download the XNA framework and get a version of Visual Studio and start writing code. And the framework is easy enough that even a dumb web developer like me can get a mans to move and shoot boollets on the screen. The Game class gives you your basic game loop and timing stuff and there are simple ways to load and render graphics, handle the inputs, sounds and all that crap. It's pretty slick and I wish I had more time to futz with it. Also I wish I remembered more maths (SOHCAHTOA?) :(
