Very interesting article to gain some perspective on how some of the processes work at a gaming company and their weird business decisions. Xbox is missing out on some games due to their policies.
It should come as no surprise that after Microsoft started the ID@Xbox program for the Xbox One last year – as a way to compensate for the backlash over their old indie-curating policies – they also put into place a parity launch clause to keep the Xbox One from being last to the party, or from companies making good on the PS4 and back-porting the game to the Xbox One as a form of sloppy seconds.
Well, Microsoft's parity clause has come back to bite them on the butt and bite them hard it did, as they'll be missing out on a few of the biggest indie titles on the market
