发布时间：Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:00 AM
You’ve played Xbox 360 games with the millions of gamers on Xbox LIVE. You’ve chatted, shared, and dominated in games of all kinds. But what if those millions could be playing your game?
Better still – what if you were getting paid for it?
Starting holiday 08, Xbox LIVE Community Games is your ticket to fame – and possibly fortune as millions of Xbox LIVE users now have the opportunity to view, buy, and play games that you create.
你同数十万人一起在Xbox Live玩过Xbox 360游戏。你们在游戏中聊天、分享所有的游戏。但是如果这些人可以玩你的游戏呢？
更好的是：如果你可以从中获利呢？
从08年夏天开始，Xbox Live游戏社区就是你成名的机会－也使得数十万Xbox Live用户可以有机会看到、购买和享受你制作的游戏。
How it Works
The setup? Simple. The payments? Cash.
As a Premium member in the XNA Creators Club, you’ll be able to submit any complete Xbox 360 game you’ve created in XNA Game Studio to the Creators Club community at http://creators.xna.com/, for peer review. Other Premium Creators will check to make sure your game is safe to play. If it is, you’ll set a price point – between 200 and 800 Points – that people will pay to download your game.
Once the game is reviewed and the price point set, you’re done. The game is listed on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and you’ll get a check every quarter, for up to 70% of the game’s total revenue in your own currency. Depending on your game’s success, you may even have your game advertised on Xbox 360 and other Microsoft online properties.
Just imagine - your game in the hands of millions of Xbox 360 gamers around the world: that’s the power of Community Games.
它如何工作：
如何安装？简单。如何支付？现金。
作为一个XNA Creators 俱乐部的特级用户，你可以在XNA Game Studio中创建并提交一个完整的Xbox 360游戏到俱乐部社区来，可以预览一下。其它的特级用户将查看并确认你的游戏是安全并可以进行游戏的。如果你通过了检查，你可以设定一个价格积分（200到800点），用户将支付这个积分才能下载你的游戏。
一旦游戏通过审查并设定积分数，你就完成了。游戏将被放在Xbox Live超市，你可以每15分钟检查一次，游戏收入的70%作为你的个人收入。如果你的游戏很成功，你甚至可以在Xbox360和其它微软在线产品中拥有自己的游戏广告位。
想像一下：你的游戏会在数十万Xbox 360玩家手中：这就是游戏社区的力量。
