28.01.2009Messenger Plus! 4.1 Released
After quite long delays on its
release, since it was
originally planned around the
first beta release of Windows
Live Messenger 8.1, Patchou
finally put the final touches

popular Messenger Plus!
add-on. Dubbed as version
4.10, the new version offers,
among other improvements,
support for 8.1's public
beta, completely new
translations, made from
scratch, and a bunch of bug
fixes.
There's
no guarantee that this version
will work with the final
build, or eventual updates to
the Beta of Windows Live
Messenger 8.1. The improved
version still works on Windows
Live Messenger 8.0 and above,
so it isn't limited to the
upcoming 8.1 version.

and its potential exploitation of small developers. During an interview with Maximum PC, Pitchford acknowledged the benefits of digital download game
services, including the ability to log-in to any computer to download purchased content. However, when discussing Steam in particular, Pitchford said
"I just don't trust Valve". Pitchford noted that most of his concerns with Valve comes from the "conflict of interest" of the company
competing in the first-person shooter arena, much like Gearbox, while also holding complete control over the Steam service. Pitchford continued,
