Microsoft Restores Indie Games Tab To XBLA Game Marketplace
The recent update of the Xbox Live Dashboard has been generally well received, but indie developers were angered by the fact that the Indie Games tab in the Marketplace menu had been hidden in the Specialty section [see picture above]. After much criticism from the community, Microsoft has now reversed the move, and restored the Indie Game tab on the main menu [pictured below]:
While many still feel that Microsoft doesn't do enough to promote indie games on Xbox Live, this is certainly a step in the right direction.
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.
