Didn't xbox used to be the place to go for indies? what changed....

Nothing has changed.  MSFT often times searches for arcade titles and publishes them. 

I find it crazy that this has even been a complaint among "supposed fans"as of lately when MSFT has been known for bringing some of the biggest arcade games to X360 first or completely exclusive including.

Castle Crashers
Trials
BattleBlock Theater 2013
Minecraft2012
Elysian Tales 2012
Braid
Bastion
FEZ 2012
Geometry Wars
Trials Evolution 2012
Shadow Complex
Geometry Wars 2
Terraria 2013
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood 2013
Crimson Dragon 2013
REZ
Hydro Thunder Hurricane
State if Decay 2013
Hexic HD
Happy Wars 2013
Limbo
Splosion Man
Ms Splosion Man
Toy Soldiers
Maw
Deadlight 2012

And this list goes on.  All these games has been exclusive or timed exclusives as far as i am aware.  I find it odd that XBLA has been the biggest digital store on consoles and known for bringing the biggest games excluding a few, yet "Supposed Fans" are complaining.  Now I understand indie developers complaining, but not fans because you guys have got a ton from XBLA this gen and that is because they go out and search for talent.

that is a great list.

...now put release dates on each of those titles.  i think you'll find a worriesome trend emerging.

10 of them are from the last year so not sure where you are going at with this?  If you are implying the XBLA has been the best it has ever been since 2012 i agree.  I have bought more XBLA games in the last 16 months combined than i did in the previous 7 years.
