It's Official from Hyrb: Free Dedicated Servers for Devs

Does anyone else find Major Nelson to be creepy and likely oddly eccentric?
I'm sure they could find a more.... "normal" person to be the face of Xbox Live.

His wording seems ambiguous. I'm not reading that as definitive that dedicated servers are free. I saw it this morning and decided to not post it because I'm not reading it the same as most others. I'm not reading cloud=dedicated servers.

Cloud is better than dedicated servers (in the traditional sense).

Think about it this way - cloud compute is *anything* you want it to be. If you want cloud compute to function as 'dedicated servers', no problem - done... but it can also be so much more than that.

This is for real, and there are no hidden costs, or hidden intentions. It's 100% free for devs to use cloud compute, and if they wish to use the cloud SDKto build dedicated servers - no problem. They can do that... but dev's aren't limited to just that.

I came away with the same impression, but it seems the ambiguous nature of it has been cleared up.
 
Will this be the the first time that a console has free dedicated servers available for all?
