Are you saying that very big changes will be made to LIVE to make it more popular with PC gamers? I too see potential in it, but I really dislike some of the decisions made. I would support LIVE mostly if it weren't for user-hosted servers being gold-exclusive. That is something I really dislike right now, because it doesn't make any sense that we should be paying Microsoft to host servers on our own computer. I kow the LIVE service needs to be payed for somehow, but there are better ways to do it. Overall i think LIVE is a good concept and idea, but poorly done as of now and it has given me a bad first impression. I just hope some changes will come along in the implementation of LIVE rather than just adding in little features to make it look more valuble.
