Nexon's Dungeon Fighter Online coming to Xbox Live Arcade

@(Unverified) - Maybe Microsoft isn't the problem for PSU.

PSU was multiplatform .... err .... NON-MICROSOFT EXCLUSIVE multiplatform.

DFO is windows only at this point so MS will deal with them, simply picking XBLA as the only console you release for isn't good enough. as attested by the shit pot of games out there that M$ wont touch because they have mac or Linux releases.

on top of which I think M$ is real interested in another brawler game from Nexon that plays more like a console game than a PC game .... hummm, I wonder which one that could be?

Microsoft doesn't work well in general with any MMO developer, just how they are. FF 11 was about the only exception, and with due reason at that. Every other MMO has been shot down by Microsoft right in mid-development, and I shouldn't have to go on to list it all.

Why? Because it means having to lessen its grip on the reins, they want to control as much of it as they can possibly get their grubby mitts on. DFO certainly won't be free on there, and I'm expecting Microsoft to be pushing for at least $10 to "download" the client, as well as keeping up a Gold account, not to mention its own dlc to the game.
And you know what would make good DLC? New fighters added in, and possibly even the "ascended" classes if they can. Not to mention every major expansion that might hit DFO.

@DevilSei - Microsoft is actually the publisher for Undead Labs' Class4 Zombie MMO.

And I'm not really sure it's fair to say Microsoft doesn't work well with MMO developers. The MMOs announced and canceled were announced and canceled by PC developers who thought they could port the game over to the Xbox 360.

It turns out it's extremely expensive, time consuming, and labor intensive to port PC MMOs to consoles. MMOs that weren't developed with consoles in mind haven't made it to consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc.).

So it may be unfair to blame Microsoft for PC developers' overly ambitious announcements that they never even attempt to follow up on.

@Fakeassname Yea it WAS Multi-Platform, now that's FFXI's territory alone.

@Stormwalker

yeah right, M$ doesn't give anything away for free.

@Dblade True, the FF series was nothing but console games and PSU was made by Sonic Team, a subsidiary of the one and only former console maker: Sega.

@ShivanSwordsman Probably not, PSU had separate servers, and usually 360 games don't cross over. FFXI was the only exception, but microsoft broke a lot of rules for it, like needing a Gold account to play it. (It required only silver, due to being the only game with sub fees when it launched)

@Dblade I guess that's one advantage PSU has these days :P Pity hardly anyone realizes this.
