“Microsoft’s policies still have parity clauses which mean if we release it on PS4/Vita first, we can’t bring it to their console later so it probably won’t be on Xbox,” he said.

Statements from Phil Harrison, Chris Charla, and multiple developers from May 2013 through to this morning. There is no possible way you could still be in denial about this without a hidden agenda.]]></description>

Sorry bud but no.  Like I said these games came after march.  Find something more current than the released games.

One of the came out last week.  Your information is outdated.

Ordered them to keep silent huh.  Seriously?  You have some inside track with Microsoft?  Sony call you up on the phone and give you the email address of a corporate spy?]]></description>

Sigh. 
http://www.edge-online.com/news/indies-praise-self-publishing-on-xbox-one-but-microsoft-must-drop-its-launch-parity-policy/

And since I know your next statement will be &quot;why haven&#039;t we heard about it recently from Microsoft&quot;, it&#039;s because they have prevented their employees from talking about it. They&#039;ve literally ordered them to keep silent. 

Eurogamer asks &quot;Speaking of basic games, and ID@Xbox, I wanted to ask you about the parity clause that governs if games can launch on Xbox after other platforms. Several indies have come out and criticised the fact it still exists. To what extent is it being enforced, and why?&quot;

Chris Charla, id@Xbox Director replies &quot;I can&#039;t talk about it... one thing we do is we don&#039;t talk about publishing policies publicly. If a developer has a question then they can just give us a call and we&#039;ll explain everything. We&#039;ll talk through everything. But I can&#039;t comment on it publicly.&quot;

Again, for the cheap seats.

Phil Harrison has confirmed that the clause is still in place and exceptions to the clause are decided on a case by case basis.



Your &quot;examples of games&quot; are the results of those exceptions. 

Unless you are Phil Harrison, I think he knows more about this than you do.]]></description>

I&#039;ve given you examples of games.  Which is evidence.

An indie Dev might have a outdated contract especially the one in this article who&#039;s contract is over 8 months old.]]></description>

You&#039;ve given me no verifiable information that the clause no longer exists. I on the other hand have given you verifiable statements from Phil Harrison that indicates the clause is still in place and exceptions are decided on a case by case basis. 


Do you think that every single indie developer who discusses the parity clause does so because they aren&#039;t informed? Do you think they don&#039;t have the contracts in front of them to reference? Do you think they&#039;re just lying? This isn&#039;t a &quot;believe what you want&quot; situation. This isn&#039;t a religion where you have to have faith when facts aren&#039;t available. 

If you don&#039;t believe Phil Harrison, a corporate Vice President of Microsoft, then I don&#039;t know what kind of proof you need to admit your error.]]></description>

Heres the last thing I&#039;m going to say to you because talking in circles is idiotic and a waste of time.

I have given you verifiable information that suggests the clause no longer exists.

You have given no credible evidence to suggest otherwise.  A link to the id@xbox website that has no information is not evidence.

Until you provide credible evidence that proves me wrong we have nothing further to discuss.

Telling me I&#039;m wrong over and over without anything to base that on is silly.  I have done my part and backed up my argument with facts.   You have replied with your own opinion which is based on zero current information.

Believe whatever you want.]]></description>
