Microsoft: Xbox One to be ?as inclusive as possible? for indie developers | Ars Technica

Recently, Microsoft announced that they were doing another 180 and would allow indie developers to self publish their games on their upcoming system the Xbox One. Now, it appears that Microsoft are stating that point again, saying that they want the Xbox One to be as inclusive as possible for indie developers, to the point of no separation between indie games and company published games.

Still not believing it until I see it. I just can't. It does not compute to me and quite frankly MS is sketchy as crap. I mean... I wouldn't deal with them unless I had to for fear of being played or screwed over something serious.

Microsoft has lost a lot of credibility with me. They can say whatever they want, I don't buy it.

Even if they DO help out indies and stuff, they will have a very hard time competing with what Sony has going on, specially since Sony has a handheld console that gets most of these indie games (which are amazing on a proper handheld).
