Xbox One’s indie policy is the “best approach”, says MS – ID@Xbox affords developers “total control”
“The ID@Xbox program is true self-publishing, all the power of the machine,” says Harrison.
Microsoft’s ID@Xbox program and associated Xbox One publishing policies represent “the best approach to getting the most developers and the best games on the platform”, corporate vice-president Phil Harrison has declared. Moreover, the company apparently no longer distinguishes between developers and publishers in terms of game size, existing reputation and the like – the platform is built to ensure that quality gets rewarded.
