    How 'paid' and 'sales' will be managed?

    We can read:

    -----------------------------

    First, download XNA Game Studio, the free game development tool from Microsoft. It’s free and works with Visual Studio or Visual C# Express Edition. If you’ve never made a game before, the XNA Creators Club website has tons of samples, tutorials, even whole video guides to game creation. Jump right in and start coding your dream game!

    Next, join the XNA Creator’s Club at http://creators.xna.com/. It’s a community of game creators just like you. If you’re going to develop games for Xbox 360 and want to sell your game on Xbox LIVE Community Games, you’ll need a Premium membership. It’s just $99 per year or $49 for four months.

    Finally, submit your finished game to the XNA Creators Club and watch the money roll in!----------------------------------------------------------

    But, how will you be paid?, there is no information about that, the usual is that you give a bank account and you receive paids there but, someone knows how this will be managed?.

    How can you know how many sales you have for any project?

    This 'Finally' is much ambiguous and maybe everyone like to know in more detail this step, because we create, submit and once approved the game, what later?, you receive some type of message (as mail) to determine the details (like bank account and others)?

    Thanks.

    The details haven't really been specified formally yet, but there have been some posts in the forums from MS folk indicating that you will provide bank (and tax depending on the locale) information to your creators account. Then payment will be done by electronic transfer to your account. There will no doubt be some reporting stats so you can check that you are paid correctly but again we've not seen these details yet.

    I suspect it will be similar to something like google ads or amazon associates if you've ever seen those.

    However you will just have to wait and see - it shouldn't prevent you from starting work on your games today.

    OK thanks, I am really a bit lost with that, and that clear very much. At this time the only thing that prevents to 'finish' (but not working as you say) is that in Spain is not available the service currently.

    That already has been covered plenty in other places and above. As Zman said, they pay out to a bank account. I don't know of any banks that accept Microsoft Points as currency...
