Nice. So even if the game in question fixes the bug, as soon as 20 new
titles ship/ no of users explodes, there is no guarantee that TS stats would
work.
Currently, I am ok with this as I have just started and hoping that things
will fall in place soon and then we might experience an environment where
stats and rankings reflect your true skill.
So if this happens again 6 months down the line, it will suck big time.
Can't M$ work with xsn to have some servers dedicated to their games so that
they have to bother only about their problems like buggy network library.
Comeon guys.. I am using TopSpin in my Xbox Vs Ps2 debates with my friends..
don't let me down.
