Chris Satchell, vodja tima koji razvija XNA, govori o XNA 2 za DevelopMap.com
Citat:Opening up Xbox Live to XNA developers, arguably the biggest of the new additions to Game Studio 2.0, will mean that anyone can develop a game that uses Xbox Live as the multiplayer service. What was the reason behind doing this?

Well, I've had people requesting it, pressuring for it, and generally laying on about it to me ever since we launched version one. It's like "Hey, that's brilliant, you opened up the Xbox 360! When do I get Live?" [laughs]

But especially, universities really want to be able to teach their students networked game design and the associated issues like real-time syncronisation. They thought it was great that you could just use it in Windows, using the .NET network stack, but they wanted to do it on Xbox 360 as well, so there's always been that desire.

I think in the enthusiast community too people were like "Come on, online gaming is the future, we love Xbox Live and we want to be able to do some of that in our game." So since we released – even before we released – we finally worked out a way to be able to deliver that in a way that's consisitent with the rest of the framework and secure enough to make our consumers feel good about the integrity of Xbox Live.

I think one of the things people take from it is that it shows our commitment to these developers – I mean, you can see the sheer quality of talent out there from the Dream Build Play competition we ran. You know, they get exactly the full range of capabilities that the professionals do, and I absolutely believe that, much like how we've seen some really innovative and creative ideas from Dream Build Play, we'll see the same online. People will do online game styles that'll make us go "Wow! I haven't seen that before!" and so really we just wanted to make sure we were able to get it into people's hands.

Of course I'm now looking at the forums to tell us what the next thing people want is – I'm sure there's something!
