Speaking to hookshotinc, Dan Marshall of Size Five Games has stated that the game is on hold for XBLIG as the studio is concentrating right now on the PC version. Dan Marshall insists that XBLIG program “has been a failure” and he doesn’t see it surviving to the next Xbox. He has suggested that Microsoft should create something ‘mid-way between XBLIG and XBLA”:
“However, I can’t see XBLIG surviving to the next Xbox, can you? Microsoft really need to admit XBLIG has been a failure, and shift to something mid-way between XBLIG and XBLA. Do indie games right, like Steam do. Set up a store where not *everything* can go on, but there’s low enough barriers to entry that there’s an amazing selection of games and nothing shit. How hard is that? Surely they can afford to hire someone to look at each game, Google it, find out what people are saying and do some actual personal, human-based Quality Control? I think what’s most upsetting about the Xbox “Indie Games” channel is that it’s doing the reputation of the indie games industry a massive disservice.”
