I have to agree with you on this scenario. Microsoft could have built the app and respected Youtube Terms of Service. But instead they decided to mess with Youtube's business.
It is sad that Microsoft decided to strip the Ads and allow downloads from their own, because the Windows Youtube App may never come back now.
- lotso 13y agoMicrosoft doesn't have the APIs necessary to enable ads.
- zainny 13y agoIs this a confirmed fact? So far I think we've only heard from Microsoft regarding this.
- rbanffy 13y agoTheir Xbox guys seem to have the APIs. http://venturebeat.com/2012/08/28/youtube-xbox-app/ http://venturebeat.com/2012/08/28/youtube-xbox-app/
- ebf 13y agoThat app is built by YouTube.
- bentcorner 13y agoI'm honestly surprised by that. How long until a VP at Google decides it should be pulled to align with the company strategy? I'm betting dollars to doughnuts that we won't see a youtube app in the next Xbox for these very reasons.
- aespinoza 13y agoThat is very sad indeed if true. Isn't Microsoft trying to break into the ad business as well? I thought I saw something like that in some Surface Apps.
