Jonathan Blow: Microsoft have a cultural habit of treating small developers like s**t

[fauzman]

There does seem to have been an issue on the x360 - there have been multiple devs who have complained about MS's treatment so its not just a single dev blowing smoke. In addition they pretty much ignored indies at the x1's launch whcih was clearly another mis-step. But they have clearly learnt from this - the selfpublishing ID@xbox is a good move and they seem to recognise where they have gone wrong. I doubt indies treatment from hereon out will be much of an issue.
