Games published on Xbox Live Indie Games are exempt from that policy...

I've read that they are also planning on merging Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Live Indie Games sections into one category "games". So Don't know how that will work now. To be honest I like having different sections so boo

Here is the quote:

Phil Harrison: Right, so let me take that, because I think there's a very important point to make here. In the past we had retail games which came on disc, we had Xbox Live Arcade and we had Indie Games, and they had their own discrete channels or discrete silos. With Xbox One and the new marketplace, they're games. We don't make a distinction between whether a game is a 50-hour RPG epic or whether it is a puzzle game or whether it is something that fits halfway between the two--

Eurogamer: So no Xbox Live Arcade, no Xbox Live Indie Games - just games?

Phil Harrison: Just games, right. Search, recommendation, what your friends are playing, game DVR - these all go to helping you discover the games you want to play, so I think we solve fantastically some of the challenges that independent developers face, particularly around discovery and connecting their game to an audience, by some of the platform features we have in the machine itself.

A good indie games stands out from the crowd. All the good indie games have publishers because they are exceptional. Indies this gen are 95% sh*** copies of 90's platformers.

Yeah, but I never stated otherwise. I was just pointing out that there will no longer be any Xbox live indie section, so I don't know if your previous comment applies(being exempt).

Indie devs wasted good opportunity this gen to make good games. Microsoft gave them free reins all they did was games like Luca no that you slap a cat trying to eat your cereal
