In business you never burn your bridges unless you really think you will never cross it. I find it silly for any developer to cross that line as things change all the time within a company as well as policy. So when this developer was reaching out to MS, who did they reach out to. Things have changed from the beginning of the X1 compared to now. Never in those quotes did the developer mention where, when and how he communicated to MS. What response did they get and did he ever reach out again. For cross game development, if the X1 becomes a popular indie system, then his engine will not be the one looked at by indie developers but instead engines that run on both platforms like Unity. I would think the developer would want to have as many developers using his engine than being butt hurt if their first efforts were not met with the kind of happiness and sunshine they wanted. |
I doubt hes burned bridges. MS has had a turn around when it comes to dealing with smaller devs. So like i said in a previous post, im sure MS will sort this out, i doubt MS will hold a grudge for a statement made when asked a question. Especially if its the truth.
I also raised the issue of timing in a previous post so im not sure why you are quoting me and asking the very same things i was asking in a previous post....:/
