Why several people are enthusiastic about it(in this thread)? Didn't MS already have self publishing kit called XNA?
Is it the improvement of XNA? Is it something totally different?
In case someone may not know XNA, XNA lets you develop your own Windows game. You can also port the project to XBox 360. The kit is free. If you want to publish it, MS charges you $$$$.
If you are an amateur developer, the task looks easier. If you develop games for living, it may not be good enough. I heard some developer think it's an useless toy, because it uses C# instead C++.
