They should have announced this as soon as they made the decision. Why would you hide that info? Wtf?
They possibly had it planned with Indies showing support and games, etc. Like Sony did at E3.

Full X1: access to all graphic/hardware features like any AAA game would get.
App program: limited access to hardware and features.
CBOAT says its going to be an app program. But the achievements/cloud support gives me hope.
Do Windows Apps support Xbox achievements?
Games on the Windows 8 app store have achievements.

All XB1 being able to be switched to devkit mode with a auth from Microsoft is opening some big doors to piracy... I mean, sure it will be super secured and it's not like this will mean the console will get pirated on day 1 but this gives one more ways for people to potentially find a way around the console's DRM.
What's with the red text over Blow's inquiry?

Well, like a full game and some app that just tells the time, or gets RSS feeds etc.

Ok, thanks. What happened with Skulls of the Shogun?FYI: still no sign this isn't a re-announcement of the WinRT app store ghetto.
Shoved in a corner, hardware limitations, designed more for Netflix than games (see the state of the Windows 8 Store and you'll see what I mean).
[Edit] Skulls of the Shogun is a fine example of precisely why the champagne should remain in the fridge until we get clarification.
1000% increase in preorders confirmed.All XB1 being able to be switched to devkit mode with a auth from Microsoft is opening some big doors to piracy...

I see indies doing some cool shit w/ Kinect.
What DRM? You mean the Kinect requirement stuff?

You probably need to contact them and get some authorization key to access it and anything you do or make will have your ID code linked to it.
And the xbox 180 is living up to its name.
Now drop kinect and I'm in.
Will indie devs will be limited to the 2 CPU cores and 3GB of RAM that the Windows OS uses? Has MS said one way or the other? I think that would be pretty important.
That every game and experience can take advantage of all of the features of Xbox One and Xbox LIVE
The same DRM consoles have had for years that prevents rampant piracy?
The DRM that will be on every discs and in the system OS preventing multiple installs of the same "cd-key". This is obviously disabled on a devkit. So, if people find a way to switch their XB1 into devkit mode without Microsoft's approval then they could simply go and download any games ont he net and install them on the machine.

The fact that the console itself is a dev kit makes me think they've been planning this for quite some time. It's not like Sony can just flip a switch and make every PS4 a dev kit as well.Wow seems sony and fans destroyed xbone original plans. The only difference now might be price 500 to 400. Which is still pretty good position. Hopefully indies make money and more games. Gamers win no matter what

Seems like isn't only for shared Windows 8 market games."That every Xbox One can be used for development. That every game and experience can take advantage of all of the features of Xbox One and Xbox LIVE. This means self-publishing. This means Kinect, the cloud, achievements.
. It's not like Sony can just flip a switch and make every PS4 a dev kit as well.
This sounds to me like all devs can use the full potential of the X1.

What DRM?
So what game engine/licenses will be offered with each console dev kit?
What's the cboat rumor?Still have that cboat rumour to clarify...
