Title: Don't count on an XBLA release.
Post by: Chibi on April 12, 2010, 01:10:58 am

After six months of negotiations, Microsoft denied the creators of Machinarum access to the system, citing exclusivity issues (the Mac and Linux release).  >:( Looks like the PSN and Wii are the best bets if Alec and Derek are considering a console version.

[EDIT]: I seem to be having trouble with the link - does it work for you guys? If not, just search for "Machinarum" on the Kotaku homepage.

Woah, what a dickish move. I know of previous XBLA games that were also out on Windows, Mac and Linux, but this might be some new policy they've invented. Machinarium is a great game, by the way. Highly recommended.
