| Goatseye said: You're offside bruh! MS wanted them to get a publisher and if they couldn't find one, they could've published with MS Studios. And the parity deal issue was blown out of its real proportion, MS said that they work with devs, case by case. |
Its still largely a game of Microsoft trying to pull all of the strings with indie devs. They set up a system that has them deciding what is best for these small companies and has them trying to make decisions that they don't really have the right to make. While the parity clause is not a hard rule, it is still a hoop that MS is making indie devs jump through. I have heard "we aren't releasing on Xbox because of [reason]" enough times to believe that these hoops really aren't helping anybody. It seems that MS has lightened up though, but I admit I haven't been keeping close tabs on the issue.
