If they do this, then eyes would be on Microsoft and not Farsight for not doing this in the first place.

The article states that teams bigger than one or two devs wouldn't be able to self publish still. Farsight would be too big

Farsight will still be sitting in bankruptcy court because of contractual obligations though. Regardless of the rumours veracity.

Yea, the impression I get is that this wouldn't apply to Farsight. I don't know why MS is so bent on having to go through publishers, other than they themselves being a publisher and wanting to line their pocket off the work of others.

MS makes money off it whether you have a publisher or not. Just like Sony, Apple, etc. do

This is still just a rumor,so lets see what actually happens,if anything...

But they have someone games.

I'm guessing your post, Gordon, was either a bad google translation or you were PWI (posting while drunk). Either way please try that again.

But by being the distributor AND the publisher, they get an extra cut.
