"the company setting "parameters by which [they] can delist" content"

Or maybe it's the backlash from the whole industry...

Schappert then added
"Except of course Space Giraffe, which was the ultimate waste of money... yet had such an intriguing name. We are definitely de-listing that shit"

I concur. Space Giraffe was all kinds of awesome. It had pretty colours.

Man, I remember a friend bought that game, his excuse was that he was high.

It's like WarioWare, except that this is pure shit.

I don't understand how this is an issue. If people want it then just keep it. It's not like they are that worried about the extra 100 or so MB on the server that isn't getting used. If they are worried about space and everything, I thought the NXE was supposed to fix that issue.

de-listing doesn't bother me because microsoft will remove games from xbla. it bothers me because there is so much crap (and the vast majority is crap) on xbla that de-listing is even considered!

I'll be frank, it wasn't a great idea. I don't believe in removing games several months after release for the sake of making navigation of the marketplace easier or removing 'mistakes', just because of meta critic score.

If the concern is quality, then games should be subjected to stricter guidelines and quality control BEFORE they are released. And if the game isn't that great, then don't release it.

If the concern is sales, then how about reducing the pricing of XBLA arcade games after a certain period of time OR if games don't meet certain guidelines, charging less from the beginning.

Why don't they occasionally lower the prices so they could interest people who didn't buy these games the first time around? At this point it's the difference between getting nothing or 1/2 price for the game.

I dunno, I kinda liked Rocky and Bullwinkle! It was indeed a WarioWare ripoff, and the production values were low, but then, the cartoon's production values were pretty bottom-of-the-barrel too!

And yes, I agree with my esteemed colleague Dr. Stabbingworth---if MS would let people discount their games, this whole discussion would be unneccesary.
