Fez-Schöpfer: Microsoft will keine Indie-Spiele auf der Xbox One

Fez was one of the most successful Xbox 360 indie exclusives; However, when asked about Fez 2’s main console, the game’s creator Phil Fish was clear that it definitely is “Not Xbox.”

Back in 2012, Phil decided not to patch a bug that corrupted the save games of 1% of Fez players on Xbox 360. The decision was reached after Microsoft gave him the choice between leaving the bug as-is or paying “hundreds of thousands” of dollars to certify the patch.

For Xbox One, Phil believes that Microsoft“didn’t change anything about their anti-indie policies.”

“Whether or not I would develop for it comes down to how the platform holder treats me,” fügte er hinzu. “With Microsoft they’ve made it painfully clear they don’t want my ilk on their platform. I can’t even self-publish there. Whereas on PS4, I can. It’s that simple. Microsoft won’t let me develop for their console. But Sony will.”
