i read somewhere ( i wish i remembered where) that microsoft is going to take more of the profit from xbox live arade games. the creator of the new hit xbla game Braid said he was only able to break even with the production of the game. Braid a great game and says he may not even consider making more of those great hits on xbla in the future cause of microsofts business model.

I'm reading this now. The game's designer is saying he heard that they were changing it. It's not confirmed, it might happen, it might not. Not many people bought Braid because of it's high price. Is it worth the $15 dollars? Yes. Do I have the 15 dollars to spare for it? Nope, sorry. As for him not making more games: good. He can take his whiney a** to Sony, God knows, their market needs good downloadable games.
