RealNetworks joining the XBLA bandwagon?


Buried in a news report about RealNetworks purchasing a company called Game Trust -- which should expand Real Networks' RealArcade features -- it was revealed that the company has begun working on casual titles for home consoles. While no specific titles have been announced, nor has support for XBLA been explicitly confirmed, Real's VP of game content Erik Goossens did note that console development is "happening as we speak." It's worth noting that Game Trust was purchased by Real so that the company could use Game Trust's technology to implement community features (leaderboards, chat, etc.) into its games. Sounds like exactly the sort of features you'd need to make an XBLA game, doesn't it?
