Forums - Microsoft - Developer: Xbox LIVE Indie Games "isn't a sustainable platform"

StefanieFogel on 06 September 2011

Yes, I am plugging my own article on the forum... :)

I like what events like IGSU are trying to do, but I'm not sure how effective they are. Ultimately, I think the indie community is better off on the PC. What do you guys think?

i think im glad i dont read the site articles....for starters the quote and your use of it in the title suggest very different things.  and clearly just designed to increase views, which disgusts me.

I would care more if they weren't whining about some more quality controls or some other bullshit.

I think the biggest reason to blame for that is it's hard to find what you want in the Indie XBL section because it's just one big clutter.

if you are unable to concieve of a title that is not inflammatory it only further demonstrates your lack of qualifications to be writing

Well, while I've only been writing for the video game industry for a few years, I've worked in television news for 11 years in the 14th largest market in the country. Since you asked about my qualifications. But I probably shouldn't even bother, since it's obvious you're quite bitter towards the writers on VGC and I should just stop feeding the trolls. I simply wanted to draw some discussion about Xbox and indie games, because there are some talented people working in that genre and they deserve more attention than they're getting.

yes, id say you should stop feeding them from the looks of your photo.  your title is inflammatory because you are a troll looking to stir shit up so you can get more views on your poorly written article.

Nice article, don't mind the haters. Indie devs clearly stated what's the problem, it's up to MS to listen to them and do something. But yes, it looks like PC, Apple and Android offer better opportunities to indies and social networks can help a lot too, whatever the platform (so they can help on XBL too, but if the latter platform starts with a handicap, the former ones will keep their lead anyway).
