Leaguegaming is now an ID@XBOX partner

Exciting News, and a huge step forward to the chapter that is Leaguegaming!

Leaguegaming has been approved by Microsoft for the id@xbox program. What this program is, is a way for independent developers to make Xbox Games, Xbox Apps and access to Xbox Tools, all at the same level as all the big guys. This is the same program that HB Studio's (The Golf Club) and Slightly Mad Studios (Project C.A.R.S.) are enrolled in to bring their projects to light.

The Implications from this are extremely positive to every aspect of Leaguegaming. For example we'll be able to gain access to GamerTag login system so people can't use gamertags that dont belong to them, We'll also be able to gain access to Xbox One data like your games list, live status, game clips and everything else. We will be able to better integrate Leaguegaming from a fan site, to an official Partner with Xbox and leverage all the access we never had before in our 12 year history.

I have created a 3 Stage Road map to follow for this news, which is

Stage 1

Leverage Official Xbox API's to the LG site, Details
​

• Integrate Gamertag registration to the LG system, so people can not create an account that isn't their gamertag. Also automatically keep track of gamertag changes, and other connections
• Xbox One Data (that we never officially had) such as game lists, game clips, xbox one live status, activity feed and anything else we can leverage.
• Possibility to send xbox messages to users from the site

Stage 2

Create an Official Leaguegaming Xbox 360/One App.

​

• Have an app on the xbox store to check all your LG stats, standings, scores
• Users could signup for their weekly games, talk in their team chat and all other team specific features
• Managers could set lines, execute trades, waivers and other management features

Stage 3

Explore creating our own brand of game(s). It's far to early to comment specially what this would entail, but what we learned in the last couple months is Leaguegaming is vulnerable to 3rd party powers that we have no control or say in. Year after year we've sat on the side lines trying to make lemon aid from the lemons that come our way. We already create the best community experience on the planet for sports games, so the next logically question is imagine if we controlled the game! We could do so much more in this space, even though it would target a small, small group of users, The Leaguegaming Users.
​

There is no timeline for these stages, but this is the general goal for the future of Leaguegaming but today's announcement will greatly change Leaguegamings future projection and goals.

Exciting times are ahead boys!

 

Great news for us all. Good work tris
