I do agree that it is relatively hard to find games I want to play on XBLA, but aren't these news sites getting tired of developer for console X grumbling about console Y stories? I am.

Of course, gaming websites should stop reporting what game developers say and talk about something like the US Presidential election instead. Yes, that would make so much more sense....

All I said was that I wish they would stop running articles about what a developer for one console thinks about development on an entirely different console. Now, if they ran stories on XBLA developers who were unhappy with XBLA (or WiiWare developers unhappy with WiiWare), I'd find them more credible.

Atleast the article hinted that this would be the case. @People: Please, read before you comment. The developer, who apparently switched from XBLA to WiiWare, said that XBLA is full of shit for devs, not for gamers. 1. As we know, some of the XBLA projects haven't stayed in the budget, meaning that the developement is more expensive than what M$ had estimated. 2. The dev also mentiones that M$ is inflexible with XBLA, whatever that means. 3. M$ cut the devs royalties in half what they used to be (unless the sales are good enough). 4. Devs apparently can't price their games as they want. All the above, as far as we know, are better in WiiWare.
