RIP Xbox Live Indie Games
A look at last week's Top 20 best selling XBLIG list paints a bleak picture of the Xbox Live Indie Games service.
This is what the current Top 20 Sellers list for Xbox Live Indie Games looks like for last week (based on Major Nelson's live activity report - http://majornelson.com/2012/10/24/live-activity-for-week-of-october-15/).
1. Minecraft Clone
2. Minecraft-visuals Arena Shooter
3. Minecraft Clone
4. Arena shooter
5. Arena shooter
6. Minecraft Clone
7. Platformer Punisher
8. Online Action/RPG with avatars
9. Arena Shooter
10. Arena Shooter with Zombies!
11. Minecraft Clone AND Arena Shooter
12. Arena Shooter
13. Spy Party-esque party game
14. Minecraft-visuals Arena Shooter
15. Minecraft Clone
16. Arena Shooter
17. Minecraft Clone
18. Arena Shooter with Zombies!
19. Wannabe Anime Porn
20. Trials-esque Action game
Of the games that aren't a minecraft clone or an arena shooter (or both!), the only games that came out this year that are on the list are #19 & #20.
That's right, the best selling XBLIG that came out this year and isn't a Minecraft clone or an arena shooter is a game where you oggle half-naked pictures of anime girls.
RIP XBLIG.
