This morning, Neon Doctrine co-founder Iain Garner posted a Twitter thread about Platform X, which he did not name but identified as the operator of a very successful console and does not have Game Pass!
In the thread, Garner criticized not just the lack of promotion it gave indie developers and publishers for their titles, but the choices it made that minimize their ability to move the needle on their own. Wishlists have no effect, so all your personal marketing means nothing to Platform X, Garner said. All that matters is their evaluation. How is this evaluation done? Dunno, they don t share that, nor will they share the value they ascribe to my game.
