Uhh C and C++ are lower level than C#. And the virtual machine shouldn't be much of a problem given he's not making complicated games that require high performance and many optimizations. XNA is pretty much a C# wrapper over DirectX9.

For level, sorry I have mistaken low and high, sure that a language based on an another is of a lower level.
XNA is now deprecated, no anymore support for optimizations, rendering using newer versions of DirectX 9 and new UI of Windows; and security.

I'm well aware nothing can be free. But $125 a month? Someone's pulling my leg. Had I been like Nintendo, churning out blockbuster-after-blockbuster cause almost everything they make sells like hot cakes, than income wouldn't be a problem. The price of everything "professional" makes me fee like I am taken advantage of financially. I'm just one dude.

I feel the same way; but in computing industry, you aren't an human, you are an user. "If it is free you are the product"
