Quickly my 2 cents.
-Games from indie devs not having a xbox version is not weird or uncommon but if you go outside the Xbox community you will find it is a complaint every fanbase makes.
Why is Nobody save the world on xbox first/only while the other games from that studio were exclusive for PS.
Why is Rogue Legacy 2 the sequel to one of the biggest praisest exclusive indie games on PS first/only on xbox.
Why is Vampire survivors one of the surprise hits of last year only on Xbox?
Why is Valheim only on Xbox?
Why are some Kemco games not on switch or not on PS but are on Xbox and thats an Japanese game studio/Publisher!!
- Tokyo Gameshow last year for Xbox was rather weak. 'Hey xbox gamers, years old games that are not (so) popular anymore will get an Xbox version!!
- Happy Tango is going to expand, mentioned it a few weeks ago that instead of buying they should upgrade their studios/stop with contractors etc so yeah that is a good thing.
-Talking about Kemco, I bought 4 games from them this week (only spend 10€ thanks to the MS rewards tho).
The Anime industry in Japan had a hard time, small budgets (4 million$) to make a show with 24 episodes and studios were lucky to make a profit and many of the people who worked in those studios who always dreamed of working in the industry needed a second job because the payments were so low but then netflix came in and they were like 4 million is cheap....Lets just give them a bit more and now netflix has a ton of anime shows, sure some crap but also had some succes.
The reason why I bring it up is because MS could do the same, the gaming industry has a ton of small studios/Publishers who barely survive. Kemco tends to work with them and if for example if MS would acquire/invest in them it would be a win/win situation. You get a studio/Publisher who already has experience with releasing games on Xbox/PC/Mobile and would be excellent for the MS app store aswell. Sure a ton of games can be crap but some could also become hits and considering they release atleast 1 game every three months (+50 on Xbox now) you have some filler to fill gamepass but also has the potential to find some incredible talent.
