Microsoft announced yesterday that it would soon allow developers of massively multiplayer online role-playing games to require hard drive space when playing games on Xbox 360 despite the console maker's previous denial of such claims. "Feel free to require 30GB for your game -- [but] that's just going to make your potential audience a lot smaller," a Microsoft representative told a group of developers while speaking at GameFest in Seattle this week. Effective immediately, Microsoft will not restrict the amount of hard drive space MMO game developers can use. It is unclear if non-MMO games will be allowed to require hard drives for future games on 360.
