Torque X Free for XNA's Creator's Club Premium Members

Coding4Fun - Rapid Application XNA: now with more orange flavor.

"If you're a premium member of the XNA's Creator's Club, you now have access to Garage Game's Torque X and Torque X Builder for free!  Previously, this cost $100!

What is Torque X?  It is c# based game engine that allows 2D drag and drop game creation!  It allows you to make use of physics and shaders effects to create a game quickly instead of from the ground up. ..."

Free is my wife's favorite price (for stuff I want ;)

I'm glad to see additional value being added for Premium Members...

Important Note from http://creators.xna.com/subscribers/torquex.aspx: "If you are an XNA Creators Club Premium member, your membership allows you to download Torque X for free here. XNA Creators Club Premium members have a license to use Torque X and Torque X Builder as long as their subscription is active. [GD: Emphasis added]"

So if you're creating XNA games for Windows, you'll still need to keep your XBox 360 XNA Creators Club active in order to remain legal. Not sure how I feel about that. I'm only interested in using XNA for the 360, so for me it's not an issue. But it still seems... ?

Anyway, something is better than nothing. Added to the Greg Work Item list ;)
