During the Game Developers Conference that is taking place these days in San Francisco, Jamie Cheng of Klei Entertainment has declared the promotion of the Summer of Xbox Live Arcade titles prevents independent non-members to emerge. "The promotion is a great incentive, but everything that is not part of it falls apart.
And it's dangerous to bet everything on a period that lasts only two weeks. Must extend the promotion to enable everyone to benefit." Chen also called on Sony and Microsoft to improve the "hint system" in order to extend the life cycle of products. Other proposals instead launch promotions such as "Deal of the Day" and "The Affair of the week." Even easier integration of microtransactions could help developers, says Cheng.
According to the developer Shank, the company published game on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, although not part of the Summer of Arcade promotion has allowed Klei Entertainment to make profits.
