It seems that Project Spark, Microsoft's game-building game, will not require XBox Live Gold to play in any of its versions on the 360, PC or XBone. Seeing as that is a Microsoft Studio title, as first-party as can be, that's quite a surprising development, but not an unwelcome one. It also makes a lot of sense to do which I posit is most of why it's surprising. Despite me being a little disappointed in Project Spark, or what little of it has been shown off, I'm still nonetheless interested in it, especially now that the XBone left Crazytown and is a viable, purchasable console now. Because I am just a whore for the concept of creating things even though I'm terrible at actually executing the creation thereof.
Of course, that's kind of where the rub is - everything points to being able to play Project Spark without XBox Live Gold. Semantics are a wonderful, terrible thing, of course, so one could actually infer that silver members can only do that - play the game. Play other creations people have made. The worry, then, is that you will still need Gold to actually be able to create and share your little games that look suspiciously like Fable even though it's supposed to be set in space or something. It would certainly make sense, since it makes -more- sense than Microsoft being cool where it concerns this game. It's not that we want to be cynical, that we don't want to believe, but, well, I think we've all touched the fire one too many times, and we're pretty sure it's still going to burn.
We're watching you, Microsoft. Keeping an eye on you in case you go all Crazytown again.
yes, it was a short post but what else is there to say about a game that has like three minutes of footage out there
