Feedback Reminder: XBLCG Promotions
Here is a friendly reminder to all those developers participating on Connect to vote for their favorite bugs and suggestions as well as submit new ones.
Today I submitted a new suggestion after reading What Microsoft Needs To Change To Satisfy Indies and discussing what a possible solution would be for the Promotion woes. If you are too lazy to read the article, it turns out that when you submit a game to Xbox Live Community Games, you automatically agree to a cut in your royalties (that is the money you earn!) if Microsoft decides to promote your game. It is unclear how much they will take and how long the promotions run, but one thing is certain: this can take some serious cash away from you.
So we of EFNet’s #xna have come up with a brilliantly simple idea of adding a checkbox that allows the developer to opt out of promotions for a game. So please go vote this suggestion up and pass the word along to make it a reality.
