It's not like this is the first time he has complained. We get it MS did something he didn't like and he feels the need to vent and if someone asks him a question about it then he should give an honest answer, but every time he says "MS treats indie devs like shit" it gets picked up as "news". Also if MS treated Indie devs so badly then I'm sure MS wouldn't have nearly as many indie games on 360 and coming to Xbox One.

Developers don't want to lose more than 40% of the income.

I'll give you some examples.

Bill Wyman(Rolling Stones) said:We have been selling millions,were no.1 all around the world but i barely could afford to buy me a VW Beetle .

George Harrison(Beatles) had to sell his hous(or huge hypotheque) to finance the production of the monty python movie life of brian.

Usually both had to be multi-multimillionaires but their gready managers ripped them off.

The same can happen to you if you are naive and think you will be treated fairly in gaming business.They will sent you a 150+IQ psychopathic greedy lawyer and let you sign a contract you don't understand because they use words and sentences in this contracrt a common person can't understand.As soon as you sign the contract and don't do what they want you to do they will thteaten to ruin you because they owe you and they control you(and your IP)

I am not joking at all.
The sad thing is, that you fail to see how indies are a bunch of vocal retards who managed to create about 10 good games over a whole generation for 2 platforms. They love theirselves more than their games and think there is somehow a big following for their games. There is not.

Asking $10 for a 2D sidescroller shooter is cool for guys like you, heh?
And the game can be shitty as hell, it will get great reviews anyway, because it is from an indie dev. Yeah the graphics are from the 90s, the soundtrack kills your ears and the game is repetitive, but it is somehow retro and made by an indie: 8/10!

Asking $10 for DLC for a game that has great visuals, something called online multiplayer, great sound effects and a story is a rip off though, because Activision / EA / UbiSoft are oh so greedy.

Seriously blowfish are the perfect example of what went wrong with indies. This is a game designer who made one (in numbers: 1) game 5 (!!!) years ago. Since then he gave sooo many interviews and even tried to influence how Microsoft / Sony should build their machines. He lives in an ecosystem MS created. This is the irony here. He made money, because MS created XBLA. They even published his first and only game. That was his market place. Now MS / Sony invest BILLIONS of USD in R&D for a console and he says, he wants to have a different architecture and another focus. Who the hell do these indies think they are?

Nobody pays $400 / $500 USD for a gaming console just to play Braid. He should be thankful for every blockbuster game out there, because those games are selling the hardware and increases the userbase he tries to sell his $10 download-only game to.

And this Fish guy, who made Fez, which is not even an outstanding game, talks at the GDC towards the Japanese game developers "You and your games just suck"... WHAT THE FUCK?! Those Japanese game developers basically created the industry he is working in. Yeah, I know there were games in the West as well, but yeah... The gaming industry would not be the same without Japan. Period.

I can keep on ranting, but I am getting tired.

There are great indie / XBLA / PSN games out there. State of Decay was very good for example, The Walking Dead was one of my favorite games in the past years. But the way some indies try to present themselves and their games is ridiculous. They will get away with everything, just because they are indies.

I'd take an extra job where I'd be treated like shit if it meant more than doubling my income, but I wouldn't like it and I would probably complain.

The reason they complain is often money related. It should also be noted only a handful of developers complain and attempt to speak for all developers.

I don't believe MS treats developers as poorly as some lead us to believe. There are developers that say working for MS was great for them, but oddly enough that goes ignored.

And thats exactly whats happening , witchbeam dev not publishing assault android cactus on x1  because of release parity clause and many others,also look at the list of absentees on id@xbox dev list ,no hello games(no mans sky) no tequila works(rime) no supergiant games (transistor) no thelca inc (the witness) and when these games release on ps4 first they wont be allowed release on x1 because of the parity clause
