Games Cheats and Reviews

This seemed like a pretty logical jump to make when hearing that Zombie Cow’s upcoming shooter would take place in locations such as a vagina, but now a Microsoft spokesperson has made it clear that — by the sound of it — the odds of Privates receiving approval and making it onto the Xbox Live Indie Games service is unlikely.

Xbox spokesperson David Dennis sent website seattlepi.com a statement (via Kotaku) addressing the situation.

dailygamesnews.com – Microsoft has revealed details in advance of future Deal of the Week promotions and upcoming additions to Xbox Live and Games on Demand.

"It’s a funny thing; when you release a digital marketplace in this day and age and provide little restrictions as to just what can be uploaded you get content that may not have been originally intended for the platform. Case and point: Xbox Live Indie Games (XBLIG)."
