Krome Studios’ creative director Steve Stamatiadis has said that Microsoft’s upcoming Game Room, which the studio is currently creating, could become the equivalent of iTunes for videogames.
"I think the thing is that you’ve got a whole range of stuff that people can’t get any more," he said, speaking to GamesIndustry.biz. "It’s a way of getting these arcade games legally and authentically – that’s a big plus. It’s like having iTunes – you’ve got music that you can’t find albums for, but you can now go and buy it. This is just a different version of that for games."
Today is the day that the website goes live! There is a lot of work still left to be done, but we can honestly say that things are working out well so far. There are still features yet to come. Some of which will include detailed game pages with screenshots and video trailers, game reviews written by you the viewers, and a forums area for the community to express their likes and dislikes. All things considered, we hope you enjoy your visit!
