How hard is it for a developer to publish a multiformat game for Live?
Copy and paste the 360 achievements, port over 360 pad support and intergrate the interface.
Also it should be cheaper than developing for other services:
There are a total of 5 API calls to get the Guide up and running and the code interacting with the LIVE service is almost identical to Xbox 360 code. Over 85% of the APIs are identical between Xbox LIVE and Games for Windows - LIVE. If your title has an Xbox 360 SKU, the investment to implement Games for Windows - LIVE is minimal. In fact, using other online gaming platforms will result in an increased risk and cost.
