- I asked him about XOne and he said that it doesn't exist to Indies because of the parity clause and MS doing literally nothing to approach anyone. He says a parity clause makes it almost impossible for an Indie studio because they could get sued over small little things that might differ on different platforms and these are extremely difficult and time consuming for Indies.


I might have believed you if it wasnt for this line.  The parity clause is crap, but it has nothing to do with "little differences" between versions.  It is only about timing, and only if they want to self publish.  

Basically, it is only an issue if the indie developer wants to release on sonys platform first.  In that case, if they want to release on xbox as well, they have to release both versions at the same time.  It has nothing to do with content.  Having such a fundamental misunderstanding of the parity clause from a supposed insider throws your entire claim into doubt.
