And Microsoft take yet another hit when Just Add Water and Oddworld Inhabitants has said that they will not bring their Oddworld remake, 'New 'n' Tasty!' to the X-Box 360 and the X-Box One after being told that the developers have to team with a publisher for them to allow it onto their consoles. In an interview with Oddworld Inhabitants boss Lorne Lamming he said:

'We don't have a publisher so we're not officially on the platform, even though we're compatible, even though we'll be ready to do it. Period.

Why do we need a publisher when we self-finance our games, we build our own IP, we manage our own IP and we've turned nearly two million units online as indie publishers sold - not free downloads? Why? What's wrong with us?'

Lamming went on to claim that Microsoft only care about the profit and are out of touch with their audience and lamented that they're not allowed the games on the X-Box when he personally helped them release it.

I'm overjoyed to see such a big name in the indie companies taking a stand against Microsoft for their ridiculous stipulations. Maybe others will follow suit and try and make Microsoft open their eyes and see that they're just hurting themselves.
