Indie anger at new Xbox dash

Developers share their concern as software update throws all XBLIG games into single list

A number of independent developers have responded angrily to the latest Xbox 360 dashboard update.
Many are angry over what they see as the indie marketplace being “hidden away” again.

Discussing the issue on a Microsoft developer forum, one of the main gripes is that it apparently takes 17 button presses from the home page to access the top indie downloads – a section seen by some as a vital source of revenue and publicity for devs.
“Everyone knows the top downloads list is where the good money was made, if you landed high enough you could have sales for a few weeks if not months,” said Monster Talk creator Neil Jones.
“If people can’t get to this list easily then things don't look good. Even if your game gets top rated it won’t help that much if it takes the user 16 plus button presses to find the indie game top rated list.”
