Tremulous Switching To Xbox Live, Exclusively
An anonymous reader writes "Darklegion Development and Microsoft have apparently been working on a new version of Tremulous for the Xbox 360. Timbor, project founder and a main developer of Tremulous, said this in a recent announcement: 'What does this mean for you? You will now be able to play Tremulous on Xbox Live with thousands of other gamers, earning achievements and showing off your gaming skill. In the best interest of maintaining a steady and secure Tremulous playerbase, Tremulous is going to be exclusively available for Xbox Live. Existing infrastructure will no longer receive official support. Players who have already been playing for at least three months can apply for a €5/$7 coupon as a show of our appreciation of your enthusiasm so far! What does this mean for the community? Hopefully nothing! While the production of Tremulous switches from its current open source development to a closed source environment handled by the very capable and experienced Microsoft engineers, the efforts of the community will still be valued. In this collaboration we have made it very clear that the Tremulous community is very important to the game, and Microsoft agrees with us on this point. We are confident that this move will not stifle the creative output of the community.'"
God this shit is incredibly boring. They really should randomize the day of the year that April Fools lands on and not tell anyone. Yes, I mean exactly what I just said.
Guess I'll have to actually work as all you see on news or social sites is god damn zany shit. Seriously, it's like St. Patrick's day. Does anyone seriously think it's fun to run around and pinch each other over green clothing? How about we leave that "fun" to the 9 year olds, eh?
Quick off-topic trollish overrated question:
The Xbox I bought off Ebay was modded (and banned from Xbox Live). Will it still be able to play legal copies of games like this new Tremulous or Final Fantasy 13?
