Microsoft and Electronic Arts are patching up their differences through a deal which will see EA games played online through the XBox Live service.
The service launched in November 2002 but EA had doubts about the revenue-sharing model. The service also had to be run on Microsoft-controlled servers and EA appears to have had doubts about giving a competitor so much access to how people played its games. Microsoft now allows third parties to run servers. Financial terms of the deal were not released.
