Microsoft has revealed that it will allow anyone to make a career out of game-making, through its new Xbox LIVE Community Games. Microsoft makes its marketplace of millions available to members of the XNA Creators Club to create, sell and share in the profits generated by their work.
Creators will be able to choose from three suggested preset retail price points varying from 200 to 800 Microsoft Points to sell their creations and will receive up to 70% of the total revenue generated by their game.
A range of new ideas are already appearing on the Xbox LIVE Community Games beta. When the service launches this Autumn, community-created games on Xbox LIVE are expected to double the size of the Xbox 360 video game library. By the end of 2008, console owners are expected to have access to more than 1,000 titles spanning Community Games, Xbox LIVE Arcade and retail titles.
