Forums - Microsoft - Oddworld Creator: Microsoft “Not Interested” In Indies

And I'm not interested in the developer. I was a fan of Strangers Wraith but their ''excuses'' for not releasing on the xbox is just sickening. Look how successful State of Decay is, these developers have their heads where they cant see daylight.

MS is not interested in games at all

It not that... the Indies devs are just pissed because MS didn't change their policies.


Bull.

some indies don't like ms, some indies love me.

such is life,

as for you first statement, putting a smiley doesn't stop it from being trolling. mS showed more next gen games than anyone else at E3 so stop lying. 

The face indicated sarcasm as far as I could tell... No need to go into a defensive attack over such a thing :/



Don't forget with the 360 indie games you have to be connected to the internet last I checked to play.



It's just that simple.

Yet XBLA has the biggest and best collection of indie games on consoles by far. Strange how that works.

Microsoft really need to change their policy in order to stay competitive with Sony and Nintendo.


Then how come I find indie games on the 360 that are worth paying, worth playing, everyday?


there was a time that indie's were only on PC.  then MS came a long with the 360 and gave indie's for the first time ever a viable path to also launch on consoles.  there was much rejoicing.  indie's loved MS for it.

..however, MS's policies weren't perfect.  sony and nintendo came a long and not only followed suit with what MS had already done but found new ways to further improve on that idea.  i think the indie's expected that the MS that had for so long helped indie's would adopt those new innovations as well.  for some reason MS isn't.   that is why so many indie's are praising ps4 and critiqueing xbone.

prior success is not indicative of future performance.  from the announcements so far it would appear ps4 will have far more indies worth playing in a total reversal of last gen.

You must have had your head buried in the sand during their E3 conference.

I think he is referring to Xbox One

 

Read the article. The guy refers to the 360 as well.


It's a pain to get on and to patch their games they must pay A LOT of money.
