In regards to mods for xbox, all consoles have outrageous developers fees since they are all "closed" systems... You have to pay the manufacturing company to get any info on how the
pieces of devices are programmed.
As an example, in 1985 my company was approached by a Chinese customer, who purchased IBM systems from us before clones were available, to port a Chinese graphic word processor from the PC to the Mac, which at the time was a "closed" system. The company owner and I drove down to Cupertino to meet with Apple and even then Apple demanded a $10,000 developer fee plus an outrageous percentage of profits.
These days those fees are into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more.[DOUBLEPOST=1410363677][/DOUBLEPOST]
Oh dear god. Does this mean they will start redacting support for non-windows devices like Linux and Mac and the iDevices?
Why? Microsoft makes Office products for Apple, and it looks like Android (brain-dead Linux) is going to be supported soon, if not already.
