Microsoft announced at the Games Developer Conference this morning that its ID@Azure program is now open to all game developers. The new program previously launched in closed beta last year, and it aims to help small developers embrace the same cloud services used by the most popular games on the market.
“With ID@Azure, we created a program to help encourage independent developers to start using cloud services early in their development cycle. We strongly believe that the efficiencies gained from using cloud services have a force multiplier effect the earlier you start using them in development,” explained Nick Ferguson, ID@Azure Program Director.
