Fez 2 Not Coming To Xbox Live
Microsoft may have gone back on most of their policies, but it seems Microsoft is still unwilling to let indie developers self-publish their games on Xbox Live. This news comes after Fez 2 was announced last week. Now, according to the game’s developer, Phil Fish, it won’t be coming to Xbox Live. This means that Fez 2 will not be available on either Xbox 360 or the Xbox One, when it’s finally released.
Fish told Polygon that Microsoft’s inability to let indie developers self-publish their games was the main reason he decided not to release the game on Xbox Live. In a series of Tweets later Fish continued to explain his reasoning to some clearly upset Xbox users who were unhappy about Fez 2 not being released on Xbox Live.
He replied to a tweet asking why Fez 2 won’t be coming to Xbox live, to which he said “I’m independent and I don’t have a publisher. I can’t release games on xboneâ€. He later reiterated what he already said Tweeting “Id love to release my games on every platform, but Microsoft is making it impossible for me to release on theirs. It’s a shameâ€
