Forums - Microsoft - Jonathan Blow: Microsoft have a cultural habit of treating small developers like s**t

J_Allard on 15 December 2013

I can't take a word the guy says seriously ever since his bullshit regarding MS lying about increasing servers and about how every single E3 Xbone game ran on PC's because he saw the same pic of a PC running Lococycle and just assumed it was actually running a big AAA game someone actually cared about. Thankfully in both cases people actually in the know have long since corrected him and as you can see in the OP his goal posts shifted on these subjects.

None of us will ever know how MS treats indies. A very small handful of the bigger, more successful indies have bad things to say about their XBLA experience but there were tons of XBLA games last gen and MS has good indie support now for this gen.

Proud leader of the anti-indie-movement!


congratulations, you just made the worst VGC post of 2013. 

Actually it was the 2nd.

The first was your's rehashing this guys BS that no one cares about anymore.


no one cares about? the 84 replies in this thread so far (one of them belongs to you, too) seem to disagree with you.

So poorly the 360 had over 2000 indie titles. That's right 2000. That's not including the Arcade games.

On 360 there was way to many Indie games. Crap titles that were not even worthy of a Commodore 64 release.

Jonathon can go blow for all I care.

I just got Peggle 2 recently and its still the best indie title Ive ever played along with Shadow Complex.

I think Shadow Complex was made by Cliff Blezenski and Epic games.

JB is a loser. Hes been proven to throw insane lies around. Microsoft probably told him where to go because he was a compulsive liar and a complete idiot to them.

The less of the trashy games the 360 had in its indie section the better.

Proper quality titles like Peggle 2, PVZ Garden Warfare etc are made by normal sane people. Not people with an agenda like JB.

 

I hope his computer blows up in his face. Lying ****

Yeah. OK so it wasnt your traditional Indie developer. But It showed the indies how to make a proper Arcade title. Not the tosh I wasted some money on last gen. Its still in the same bracket as the indie games. I dont give lesser Indie devs a free pass becuase they arent called Epic. If they cant make games they can get out.
