AnalogHype:"Jason Coutee returns to demonstrate the changes Microsoft made since the Xbox.com security flaw was exposed and how its still not enough to stop hackers."
Paul Thurrott in a recent episode commented on the on-going Microsoft fiasco hinting at more job losses and that "there's more to come".
There won't be no more acquiring game publishers from Microsoft in the future . Xbox has to pay Microsoft back. It might take two decades to do that.
There really needs to be a class action lawsuit here. You buy these companies just to put people out of jobs. And it’s not like something happened to derail their plans this WAS the plan. Microsoft has no business in this space at all.
Ninja Theory, Perfect Dark, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Wolfenstein 3, Dishonored, Prey, Doom, Quake... something tells me that bad things are going to happen to these entities under Microsoft.
The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."
“Bond adds that they will start on the web”
This will go nowhere.
Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.
The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.
The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
At least they did something to try stop it.
But at least I know that no one can hack my account. I bet you guys here can't even hack into it.
Prove me wrong.
You could use brute force to break CAPTCHA. Let alone a simple user and password security schem. If someone use this script on other sites like Google or PSN, they will get access eventually.
That's the motivation for Google 2-step verification:

Would love to read this article except for the large SOPA black thing is kind of in the way so have to comment based on the title
Finally doing something about it. Taken quite a while
Yep everything is hackable. I laugh when I hear people say that their system is unhackable. Sony said such things and now it's the most hacked games console. Its the most openly moddable console. Titanic said the same thing... that ended well. Another big online game Habbo Hotel. They said their game was unhackable until their whole system was compromised a few years back. While I think Xbox Lives service is very secure and people think hacking as a general term it isn't 100% as no system is.
People are disregarding EA here as well as MS, thankfully I had no CC info on my XBL account, but I did have around 1600 MSP which the hacker used to buy Ultimate Team Gold Packs for FIFA 12 and he stole all the players, contracts, couch's,etc from my Ultimate Team also.
Although in saying that it was a pretty poor team and I never intended on using it, but I digress.
