Open for nearly two years at this point, Kuju-owned, digital distribution-focused doublesix studios has begun to get a foothold in the burgeoning digital landscape. Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz this week, studio head James Brooksby said he and his studio prefer the direct consumer communication offered when working with the PlayStation Network over Microsoft's Xbox Live.
"We listened to what people were saying and ... it will have features that people have asked for ... [when] we do our first expansion pack [it'll be] actually tailored according to what people are looking for," Brooksby said, noting, in his work with XBLA on the upcoming Southpark game, that Microsoft handles the community communication all by it's lonesome. "We're developing it for them and it's their relationship to take to the consumer and carry on," Brooksby says of the company. Though considering the recent closing of Microsoft's Gamerscore Blog, we're betting that relationship will fall more into the hands of the developer/publisher as time moves forward.

Read this page http://www.introversion.co.uk/darwiniaplus/ and you will see an example where MS has control about what you say about your own projects, Sony maybe is a little more open, but I am sure they set son limits too

OK, let's see if they are listening:
Could you PLEASE give us the option to use twin stick controls??? the controls are over complicated in BZB, and in fact I'm sure everyone holds down L1 (auto target closest zombie) to mimick a twin-stick effect.
My enjoyment of the game will increase 10 fold if a twin stick option is made.
There. Let's see if that's in the DLC :D

They are listening, e-mail their studio directly and I guarantee they will respond. Also I'd like to point out while holding L1 you can use the right stick to change target making it effectively twin-stick. If you really do feel strongly about this you should e-mail them and it will probably make it into the expansion!
