One of those anti-monopoly things Microsoft agreed to in order to get the deal passed.

On one hand, it's utterly ridiculous. On the other, I'm all for games being on more storefronts.

So, I dunno. Maybe I'd feel better about it if I knew it wasn't just a little bit of lube preceding the big bending over that will hit in about 2 years time.

I don't read this as the game on more storefronts. Just the ability to STREAM the game on more storefronts.
