They had no official stance on indies? That's news to me! Did you miss the whole indies have to get a publisher and pay before releasing game on the Xbox One? An employee of ThatGameCompany has even commented on it on this very website. The maker of The World Of Tanks had this to say about it, among many other indies who commented on the matter in the last 2 months; http://www.gamespot.com/news/xbox-update-process-unacceptable-for-f2p-games-says-world-of-tanks-dev-6411848 |
Wrong. The official statement was that indies would be able to self-publish through the apps store, but if they would need a publisher otherwise. What is new here is that Microsoft has defined 3GB as the file size, which is currently bigger than most Xbox LIVE Arcade games, not to mention signficantly bigger than any Xbox LIVE Indie Game currently available.
