Amazon Stops Selling XBLA Titles
The gargantuan online retailer has dropped the sale of Xbox Live Aracde games via code, although it continues to sell points cards and Xbox Live memberships.
Despite this development, Amazon continues to sell WiiWare and PlayStation Network titles. This reason for the move away from Microsoft's downloadable titles is unclear, but Microsoft has historically not been super accommodating with partners' wishes if they deviate from Microsoft's Live rules – such as when trying to release MMOs on the service. The reasons behind Amazon's move are unknown, however, and hopefully this situation is of a different stripe.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
