Surprisingly enough this gives it more credibility in my book. I refused to use it for a while until a revenue stream was introduced (Nitro) and still gave me an unsettling feeling with all the data harvesting - I still won't download the desktop app simply because of the information it collects about the games you have installed, without the user's consent.

It also feels like there's much less of an inclination of it failing like Skype has, with a high likelihood of joining the Xbox division while keeping the brand.
