Lawsuit prevents MS from talking about Live's status

Speaking about the issue in his latest podcast, Major Nelson talks about Xbox Live still acting wonky and why he and Microsoft can no longer update the gaming community on the service's status. And it should come as no surprise that it's because of legalities.

Major Nelson says that he and Microsoft haven't talked about or updated Live users about the Xbox Live service lately, because they are legally gagged. Currently, there's an Xbox Live outage lawsuit taking place in Texas (concerning the Live down time last December) and because of that, Major has to be shush about all things concerning the status of the Xbox Live service. No more blog updates, Twitter updates or comments. We'll be pretty much in the dark if anything should go wrong with Live until the Texas lawsuit is over. Humf to that.
