I en intervju med Official Xbox Magazine berättar John Baez från indie-utvecklaren The Behemoth att han anser att Xbox Live Arcade varit oerhört betydelsefullt för indie-utvecklare.
Baez förklarar: "I think without a doubt the indie console community would not exist as it does today if Xbox Live Arcade had been dropped after the original Xbox iteration."
"No other console hardware manufacturer has had the success of downloadable games that XBLA has had, and many smaller developers have shared in that success", avslutar Baez.
