New Xbox Dashboard Promotes Indie Games
Microsoft trying to address developer concerns.
Microsoft has apparently listened to the mountain of complaints it has had from Xbox Live Indie Games developers, and has issued a Dashboard update that bumps the category up to the front of the Game Marketplace.
Although the update hasn't hit Europe yet, in the US you can now browse to the Game section of the Xbox Home screen and find Indie Games proudly advertising itself in front of your eyeballs.
"As you've now noticed, the Xbox Live Marketplace was updated to change the way games are surfaced to customers," reads a statement. "Microsoft is continually working to better organise our digital game content on the platform and your feedback played a part in that.
"Part of this new organisation means that Xbox Live Indie Games now has a tile on the top level of the marketplace right next to Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Games on Demand."
Good show, Microsoft. Let's hope it's enough to satisfy all the bedroom coders out there.
