Is anyone shocked by this? Just another reason for me to personally dislike the Xbox brand.

Just imagine being an indie developer and not having your money you made on Xbox from July 2014 and later... Edit: via Neogaf, 3 more people who claim to be developers who haven't been paid their Q3 payment yet. Even one of them is considering not releasing future titles on Xbox, so it could also bite Microsoft in the ass. Robert at Zeboyd Games: ''We haven't gotten paid either. Unfortunately, this is nothing new for Microsoft - it feel like half the time they're late with XBLIG payments.'' Source DSix: ''This is true, I have yet to get paid. I mailed their services, and they assured me "it would be solved in the coming weeks", but I need that money now, not in months when they finally figured how to input my fucking account numbers in their system.''

I'm sure he won't mind and it makes the thread that much stronger. Just do it and if he has a problem he will tell you, just refer to his post as your source.

Go for it
from reading this thread on the ms forums http://xboxforums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/112910.aspx?PageIndex=3
it seems the XBLIG programm just had no division that assumed responsibility, so even minimal support had been absent for over a year and has just been reinstalled a few weeks back (and now one person has to work through 2 1/2 years worth of requests)
the problem that led to missing payments has seemingly been delt with, but devs have to wait "a couple of weeks" to actually receive their money
Lets ignore the rather off topic post from Chazore and keep things on topic!
Surely MS has an explanation for this though? I dont see why they would purposefully with hold payment...
I agree that this is silly and plain unacceptable.
With that said, there is usually something stupid behind something like this. I would doubt it has any thing to do with M$ intentionally not paying them. It is probably something to do with a systems glitch or even the almighty human error.
Too bad something this stupid can ruin the currently magical glow around M$ business practices as of late.
It is near the end of the end....
Not cool MS, not cool at all! It's Christmas for fuck sakes! Open that big wallet of yours.
