New Gamerscore Rules


Today Microsoft raised the limit for Xbox 360 games to 1750 gamerscore per game. Previously 1250 gs were allowed but games like Fable 2 or Fallout 3 broke that limit already. Retail games still stay at 1000 gs and add ons are allowed with max. 250 gs per quartal. With that new strategy Microsoft wants to make developers support their games over a longer period of time. And it has to be said as well that now only 80 achievements per retail game are allowed - so no more Orange Boxes.

In my opinion this is a clever and necessary move by Microsoft. Plus: Achievements are always great.
