Microsoft at GDC

StevieB and KevJ didn't make it to San Francisco for the GDC, but their Yahoo takeover effected attendance at all the Microsoft Games, XBOX 360 and XNA events. Yahoo Games not long ago the leader in on-line gaming has lost a large share of their players to the new kid in town, Facebook. I had a good look at what game developers are doing with and for the Facebook community and you can see where Yahoo dropped the ball.

I attended the Keynote and four XNA sessions, this is an exciting time to be writing games and hooking-up with people to play.
