CliffyB still desperate for attention I see. There is a reason Microsoft have red tape and strict controls, if you don't like it go take your product to PSN or Steam and hope you sell well.

Yeah the tons of Indie games on Xbox marketplace must really show how bad MS is treating Indie devs. Lol I can't even take anyone seriously that says that.

Microsoft created the infrastructure and made it easier in the beginning, but its slowing down now compared to the past. They are creating too much red tape for indy devs and a lot of them are getting sick of it. Half of the Xbox Live seasonal games are Microsoft funded by this point ill bet.

I see no problem with MS being more selective now since there is tons more contest now one the marketplace then there was just a few years ago. The same red tape will also appear on Sony and Nintendo consoles once they get close to getting as much content as the 360 has now.

The problem is the future, not the past. Sony and Nintendo haven't been restricting very much, only Microsoft and its only grown with time. Xbox Live next gen is a fresh start and it also is for Sony and Nintendo.
