Forums - Microsoft - XBox Live members, it has come to my attention that MS has not paid Indie developers, this is wrong!

 

Copied from mornelithe thread (link below) - - "So a quick refresher for those who don’t know. The XBLIG was Microsoft’s own indie game self publishing arm. Once a game is passed by peer review it’s allowed to be sold on the system. Each quarter Microsoft then pays said developers their portion of the games sales. The system itself also includes a clause that payment is not considered “late” until it’s beyond 45 days after the stated payment date. Previously they managed to go over that date by 7 days meaning from the date developers were meant to be paid it was 52 days after the stated payment date. Well this year they’ve gone even better. Indie developers using the service were expecting their Q3 payment on September 30th. The Date as of writing this is the 3rd of December, developers still haven’t been paid meaning Microsoft is 64 days late on payment a full 19 days beyond the rather generous "Acceptable" delay period they gave themselves. "

I don't care how much of a fan you are, this is not right. Do the right thing and get over to Xbox Feedback (here - http://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/251653-xbox-com/suggestions/6799462-pay-your-indies-on-time-no-need-for-this )  and do the right thing. MS has billions of dollars and should not hold payment, this is a disgraceful act and should not be swept under the rug.

push this up to 1,000 votes. Sony fans can help as well, make your self a Xbox live account and vote this up. This should unite us, this is horrible.

No this is not true, they also do a lot of great things but no one is perfect. However  this needs to be fixed and public outcry works.

They do everything to satisfy the big companies like EA, Ubisoft, Take Two and Activision. They couldnt care less about indies unless one of their games sell like Minecraft, then theyll shell out the cash...

Why the new thread? Couldn't you just post that link in the original? Seems to be the same information with an added link.
