Then why are they bringing Minecraft to the XBOX 360 which is a much more locked down platform than steam?
- doctoboggan 15y agoSteam is merely a new distribution system for a platform Notch has already shipped on while the XBOX 360 is a totally new platform with its own required distribution system.
- danso 15y agoWonder how well this is going to go...I bought the Orange Box for the 360 when it first came out. TF2 has not seen any of the updates that the PC has had for the past 3 years.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoThey have an alternative to using Steam on PCs - they can release their own binaries, or source. They don't really have such an alternative on the XBox.
- niklas_a 15y agoBecause Microsoft gave Mojang an incentive, eg money? Because all PC gamers can already get Minecraft but XBOX gamers cannot?
