I've read that they are also planning on merging Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Live Indie Games sections into one category "games". So Don't know how that will work now. To be honest I like having different sections so boo
Here is the quote:
Phil Harrison: Right, so let me take that, because I think there's a very important point to make here. In the past we had retail games which came on disc, we had Xbox Live Arcade and we had Indie Games, and they had their own discrete channels or discrete silos. With Xbox One and the new marketplace, they're games. We don't make a distinction between whether a game is a 50-hour RPG epic or whether it is a puzzle game or whether it is something that fits halfway between the two--
Eurogamer: So no Xbox Live Arcade, no Xbox Live Indie Games - just games?
Phil Harrison: Just games, right. Search, recommendation, what your friends are playing, game DVR - these all go to helping you discover the games you want to play, so I think we solve fantastically some of the challenges that independent developers face, particularly around discovery and connecting their game to an audience, by some of the platform features we have in the machine itself.
