I'm not to sure on cross-platform multiplayer, but I think it would allow Valve to bypass the XBL policy that all DLC must have a price. It's been one of the main impediments to an updated TF2 on the XBox, not to mention Valve really does not want to charge for DLC.

I'd like to see a title (preferably co-op) to pull of cross-platform multiplayer nonetheless.

Can you imagine the fanboy flame wars that would kick off in a cross platform game? I'd love to lay with some of my 360 owning friends, but for random games, massive flame wars.

Also, MS is going starting to lose out massively because of their protectiveness. First they lose FFXIV and now the possibility of Steamworks. No free DLC is also troubling.
