Microsoft, give those devs there 95 cents

I dont care if its only 95cents, if they are owed it, they should be paid it - I know you are only joking, but if they have signed an agreement and meet the requirements for payment (i.e the minimal amount), then they need to be paid. Should be no argument. For some people indie dev is their job, and I dont think any of us would want to work and not get paid,.

I totally agree - Infact that retro city rampage guy is waiting for his  money from nintendo for the wii version, which they refuse to pay until it hits a threshold, even though i never intend to play the wii version, i bought it to try and help him

Well i think Minimal Threshold is ok, because - just like amazon, apple etc, you are informed *upfront* when you sign the contract what the minimum is... so if you dont meet it then it's expected. Most mins are quite small, $100 max usually, which wouldnt be enough to live on anyway, but as I say, people dont mind if they know the rules, they can decide if to play by them or go and release on another system.
