This is the original conversation you crashed in:
"Skeetys said:
I thought it was old news that it would also come to PC. I doubt we'll see this on any Microsoft systems ever though. It's possible, but Xbox isn't the best place to try to sell indie games."

It's not about Steam and other platforms, it's about Xbox in general.

When have you ever heard of a Sony Published game going somewhere else? 

So the Xbox is the best place to sell indies because the Xbox is the only place to sell indies if you exclude other platforms/distrabution? 

This whole thing is about you giving MS way more credit then they deserve in this matter... There are better platforms for Indies right now!  Steam and PS4 for example. I was just taking some of your examples you gave and correcting them, the others provided may have seen popularity grow because of live... 

Though Super Meat Boy was another popular game that needed NO help from Live... It was a rather popular flash game on Newgrounds it was rather well known at the time. The original point Skeetys was making is completley valid right now as MS is not the best place to sell indies. 

regardless of the platform you play it on, it seems the developers want it to feel console-y no matter what.

1- My splitting hair? The comparison between the Minecraft editions here, is like comparing Fifa on consoles vs mobile editions. That was my mistake.

Yes, You are in order to sell you and push the types of numbers Minecraft has you have to be pretty damn popular... Unpopular games usually don't sell 21 million copies. You also need to take into account that $7 for a game on a Mobile device and having it sell 10's of millions is impressive as the majority of games sell for what $1-$2?. 

2,

You never mentioned that part until later on when this discussion started between you and I. You made it sound as though the games you mentioned were unpopular until they hit Live. I can't comment on all the games as I have no interest in the IP, though I did add Super Meat Boy in an above reply.. Live may could very well have helped the other games... but it did NOT make Minecraft popular, had has recived plenty of success without the Live platform! 

Give this a read :) http://www.no-mans-sky.com/about/

There's space combat and combat on a planet's surface, and you can collect resources and trade those for ships, suits and equipments.

I don't think English is your first language is it? No trying to denigrate you. But answer me.

Not interested in that game either way.

Seems like something I would try, but I want to see more still.

Hopefully Gamescom.

Considering that MS is still doing an underwhelming job at wooing indies, it's not surprising to see indies going for the PS4/PC combo. This game's concept is very intriguing and if it's really good, I'll consider playing it.
