Everyone knows that video game developers these days could care less about making a quality product, and more about the money making part of it. Often times games are released half-assed, or require additional DLC purchases for you to get features that should have/could have been included with the game without too much more effort/investment from the developer. Well it seems the guys & gals over at Virgin Gaming have taken it a step further with what appears to be legalized gambling via the Xbox 360 console. Upon downloading the "Xbox Tournaments" app, and signing up for an account I found out (much to my dismay) that the tournaments only included sports titles, and that it had a sort of wager system where a players could put in real money (via credit card, or what have you) in hopes of securing a larger monetary prize. At this point I haven't really looked too closely at the offerings of the app, but these first impressions have me questioning the motives behind the people at Virgin Gaming as well as the potential for future thefts by hackers.
