Microsoft is really losing touch with developers. Listen to what this guy is saying. He basically said he doesn't like the approach that Microsoft is taking. He also makes it very clear that Microsoft has communication issues with developers.

This isn't new news of course. We've been hearing for quite some time from several developers that they didn't like Microsoft's working conditions.

Microsoft has to win some support with their reveal (whenever it is) as to not let Sony runaway with a huge advantage. Sony is already winning the hearts of developers.

He didn't say Microsoft has poor communication with deveopers. He said HIS company didn't have good communication with Microsoft.

Do you want to know what this is?

This guy wanted his game to be multiplatform. Microsoft didn't return a phone call and Sony did. So now in his eyes Sony is amazing. That is how this always works with developers. I am sure Sony missed the boat on some things Microsoft got for Arcade as well.

You are making assumptions when you dont really know how it panned out. Even if what you say is true, then MS certainly did miss a trick by not collaborating with these guys - instead of a multiplat indie game now you have a timed exclusive for the ps3 (albeit with iOS and pc versions). You would think that at the least MS would want to make sure that sony didnt have any advantages even if the advantage with this game is only very very small.
