The more I hear about this topic the more I feel that indie developers who ignore Xbox because of the clause are doing so because of the wording. It doesn’t seem like they approach Microsoft, who seems to be accommodating to situations where it’s not possible to release on two consoles simultaneously. I also fail to see how this is different than exclusive indie deals (from either side). Something tells me that The Whiteness being exclusive to PS4 has a lot to do with Jonathan Blow’s previous interactions w/ MS and the money Sony must have given for timed exclusivity. Same with Play Dead and MS. This whole “they asked me first, so I’m forever loyal” is childish and kind of dumb IMO.

In reply to Starman. Making money online is never easy, because it has now become me. I freelance on the Internet, earning $ 75 per hour. By doing the work only requires that you have a computer and an Internet connection, you can have one in your home to get more time with his family. A little effort and a handsome profit dream is just a click away ... ,,,⇛⇛⇛⇛⇛⇛⇛⇛►►► http://Incomefortuneonline/VIP/V

In reply to Starman.

Yes I remember that. They had Indies since day 1 and people ignored them then they embarved indies even more with XNA and still people ignored them.

As for this parity clause…its basically a non issue at this point. 9 out of the last 10 indie games launched on Xbox one have been an “exception” to the rule so really while the rule may officially be on the books nobody is enforcing it anymore.

Here we go with the fanboy crap , I wish you all would stop putting these little Indie devs on a pedestal as if they move the flow of the industry .Indie games are cool but, you all give them way too much spotlight attention. Besides MS started this whole Indie thing on consoles …and back then the fanboys said Indie games don’t count . Now that Sony wants to jump on the bandwagon , “It’s the greatest thing since microwave” Sony needs to make it seem like 3rd pty multi-plat games and indie games are the only important games in the industry , because they have nothing of quality to offer us … so if these low lvl dev’s don’t want to come to MS good! we don’t want you dumping all your trash in our backyard …
