Microsoft Explains the Lumines Live! Mess

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday October 24, 2006 @05:18AM from the wild-wild-west dept.

1up has up a discussion with Microsoft's Greg Canessa, Group Manager for Xbox Live Arcade. There, he attempts to explain what's the deal with Lumines Live!. Specifically, why are they charging us an arm and a leg for a rerelease of an already well-sold portable title? "That's actually done by the developer. As a platform, we provide a list of available price tiers. And we work very closely, of course, with the developer. We provide suggestions and it is a consultation between the two companies, but ultimately it is up to the developer to set the price." I'm looking at you, Q!.

Q replies: What have I got to do with any of this, you ridiculous mortal? I was on the other side of the Universe playing 3-D star-cluster checkers with the Squire of Gothos. I do enjoy taking his pieces and watching them go nova. But if you really want me to do something about this, I suppose I could. Just make sure Jean-Luc doesn't hear about this. I can't abide his pedantry.
