Considering Microsoft's stance on free-to-play stuff, I don't see this game coming to Xbox 360. Perhaps this will be the one to convince them otherwise, though.

What's microsoft's stance? Isn't that new Age of Empires game free to play with achievements?

Hm, guess not. I'm not trying to troll, I genuinely wanna know their stance. Free-to-play is okay as long as it's on PC? Seems kind of strange.
From what I read on other articles, it isn't coming to XBLA (which makes sense since MS doesn't want free-to-play stuff)
I saw the trailer and it looked very interesting, will definitely look into it for sure. I just wonder if its multiplayer only, or is there any co-op elements to it though?

I'm wondering about how they'll make money from this.
I'm assuming it'll be microtransations which I am personally for but I am still curious about their method of doing it.
Also, I am hoping that people who already own MNC get something in SMNC for free... But I'm just saying that because I have it, I will play it regardless because I know it'll be a fantastic game just like MNC is.

Sweet. Now bring this to the PSN.
No, really, it seems like Sony is much friendlier when it comes to this sort of thing, and with the PSN in place, people could use the store to buy their upgrades and skins.
Make it happen, Uber. Please?

Free-to-play certainly is making a name for itself. It's crazy how many games are going that route nowadays, not that I'm complaining about playing excellent games for free, that is :)
Free to Play done RIGHT is fantastic. League of Legends and HoN give you access to free champions every week (and there area always at least two good ones), and you can easily play without buying anything. Granted, if you bought all the content in the game (not including skins), you'd run about $300 (much, much more in HoN), but still!
Free to Play done WRONG is God awful money grabbing. Like those farming games that force you to pay money if you want to play it more than once every six hours.

Sweet, I was very close to buying the first one during the free weekend. I'll definitely check this one out.
This game coming to the Xbox has nothing to do with Microsoft's stance, and everything to do with them completely abandoning the game on the Xbox for the PC version. The game has had two updates in the entire time it's been on the arcade. One of them was the free DLC, which I'll give them was a nice bonus, but the other update was promised about a month after release, to fix a lot of bugs, which then got postponed another 45 days after THAT date. And it didn't even fix anything.
Going FTP might make me interested in it again, but only if they fix the myriad of problems which are still in the game right now.
And before you think I'm just hating on it, my friends and I had loads of fun playing it for months and months after it came out.
