For Part 1 of Delisting - Developer Response, click here.

For the second part of responses, I was able to talk with Lloyd Melnick, Chief Customer Officer and Co-Founder of Merscom, who recently released Buku Sudoku onto the service. With their single release on the Xbox Live Arcade now under their belt, Mr. Melnick has a much different take on the changes to that of Metanet.

"I support this policy. I think it is important to maintain a consistent level of quality and if a game is not hitting these targets (which are not that rigorous) they aren't giving the gamer a good experience.

"We put almost three years into Buku and it is frustrating that there is so much noise that player's may not realize our game really is good.

"I always believe in quality over quantity and I think the Microsoft policy is a good move in this direction. I understand how some developers feel they might end up wasting their effort, but I think if they make a REAL effort these hurdles should be a piece of cake."

Thanks to Lloyd Melnick for taking the time to respond to my query.
