CCP: Xbox Live 'too strict' for MMOs

CCP: Xbox Live 'too strict' for MMOs

E3 2011: CCP says Microsoft service isn’t MMO friendly

Xbox Live is too closed for the developer of PS3 exclusive Dust 514.

Speaking to Eurogamer during an E3 presentation, CCP CTO Halldor Fannar said: “Let's just say that with Sony at least they have policies that allow us to build the game the way we want.”

“That is one of the reasons why we've gone with PSN.”

When asked if the title could potentially head to Xbox 360, he replied with a smirk and a “no comment.”

That would be one of the reasons Xbox Live didn't get hacked apart like PSN then?

I have to agree with futureofgaming on this one. While it is a very closed system, i think that's why so far it's been pretty much secure. That and i think MS charging peeps for gold means they have the funding to keep it that way.

Hmm i hope i haven't just baited some hackers into giving it bash :o)

But i would really like to see MMO on the xbox, i think it's really the only thing i don't like about live.

Seems like some developers disagree:

Or am I missing something?
