Dougie: great, I'm porting the lab.
Xbox chief Asha Sharma told staff that fans decompiling and rebuilding its games for other hardware is unmistakably good for players, even where it challenges Xbox's business model, and set up a small group, Xbox Labs, to experiment with what the modders did first; the company has not said what it will do about unauthorized use of its games, and people play more than 72 billion hours of Xbox games a year.
