While players will be able to play online in these games until the selected date, EA does mention that "certain community programs may begin to close down prior to the shutdown dates."

I hope they won't make games that require us to purchase stuff from their "Consumables" to actually complete the game.

A case against Microsoft was filed on the 12th of Semptember, after the Prosecution company Paltalk discovered that Microsoft broke one their patents they filed in 1998 with the use of their Xbox Live service.

I took the time out to read the whole case in an attempt to understand what had actually gone on. Before attempting to do so yourselves, I do warn you that there is a lot of legal jargon in there. But I managed to discover the patent that Microsoft breached was patent 5,822,523, or, as it will be known in the case, "the 523 patent". The patent states:

    Multiplayer games conducted over Wide Area Networks generally involve difficult technical issues because of the requirement that all players have the same view of the game environment in real time. Paltalks technology provides for efficient handling of communications between players necessary to maintain a consistent game environment for all players. Paltalk's technology covers a number of aspects of online gaming, including communications through a group message server as well as establishing groups for online game play.

MS therefore break the patent because they pay nothing to Paltalk for use of the technology with their Xbox Live service, which stretches right across the world. And a quick word of warning to anyone in the UK, since Paltalk have one registered there too. It seems like Paltalk, who run an Instant Messaging service similar to that of Microsoft's own MSN, are doing this to simply boost their reputation. Live has been up for four years in November. Could they not have pointed it out to Microsoft at the time, before it got huge? Or did they simply "forget" that they had filed the patent until now?

So what will Microsoft do? If they follow Sony, who got sued for their vibrating technology that they stole, and who have since announced no vibration for the PS3, Microsoft will simply take down Xbox Live. However, I doubt they will follow Sony, and will simply pay vast sums of money to Paltalk.

It will be interesting to see what exactly MS will do. If they pay up, MS will have to continue paying royalties to Paltalk for Xbox Live, so will this push the subscription service price up? Who knows, we can only speculate at this stage, but we at Xboxic will be keeping an eye on it, and will let you know.
