Last Friday, however, Microsoft reversed course. It is as yet unclear whether this change was in response to customer feedback, or pressure from Indie developers, though it’s timing with the console-denouncing Gamesradar.com article is suspiciously perfect.
The decision to return XBL Indie Games to a more prominent location is certainly a positive step for Indie developers (and their audience), even if it does come across as more of a re-instatement of More >
