![]() Thank you for being involved in this wonderful madness known as theXBLIG. So thank you, all, from the bottom of my heart. While I’d still be playing indie games otherwise, there’d be no point in running this website if it wasn’t for all of you. It may sound cheap, and more than a little cheesy, but it’s the honest truth. I owe a great debt to this community, my fellow gaming journalists / writers, all the great XBLIG developers, and, of course, you guys. Granted, that’s not the most impressive showing for a website, but for one dedicated to a fading indie service, with games that are often criticized (yes, by me too) for being childish and loaded with boobs, it’s not too shabby. ![]() As of today, we’ve surpassed 214,000 views, posted 318 articles / reviews, and seen 3,500 comments on those posts. ![]() Proof is in the numbers, really, as this site has had a fantastic run since last June. What I can say is that the community itself- people like You, reading this- is still going remarkably strong. I can’t write that the service still has its best days ahead of it, as that would be a lie even I can’t force myself to believe. New releases have slackened off on Xbox Live Indie Games in the past few months. While Xbox One is picking up steam, and indie gaming has started taking hold there (with the program), the Xbox 360 has not been as fortunate. There’s no point in glossing over the reality of a situation. ![]() XBLIG seems destined for a slow, depressing death. Well, that worry was for naught the site still stands! That said, we sure limped into this second birthday celebration, as the new releases have pretty much dried up. I do remember last time I did this, I was worried the site might not even make it two years, between the rumblings of XBLIG’s demise (only somewhat exaggerated) and the looming releases of the next-gen consoles. Don’t want to pat myself on the back too much, just enough to keep my ego properly inflated. Man, has it been another year already!? Time flies when you’re writing indie game reviews, I guess. ![]()
