What is going on Xbox Live Indie Games on Xbox 360 & Why?

Games like Minecraft are not Indie games so they wouldn't be listed under Indie games.

Valve only self-publishes on the PC. For all of their recent console releases they've partnered with EA. This idea that Microsoft requiring a publisher is nothing new because it's exactly what they've done this entire generation. So why have the indie developers
still released games for the Xbox 360? Why would they suddenly stop doing so for the Xbox One? In addition, it's my understanding that the Indie Game Marketplace is still going to be a thing going into the next-generation, and Microsoft DOES allow self-publishing
on there.

So, uh, what's changed?

Since it's only on the indie titles from the Xbox 360, I would guess it has to do the age of the console. It's going on 13 years now and I would imagine the focus is going to be primarily on Xbox One, Windows 10, Xbox Live, and
future consoles.

That was pretty much it. They were moving onto ID@Xbox and shut down the indie games for the 360.

I bought an Xbox LIVE Indie Game and regretted, but thankfully, it only cost me 80 MSP.

When Xbox LIVE on Xbox 360 is discontinued, you know what to do to continue using what you've bought.

What bothers me is that these indie games are available on the Windows Phone 8 store (In Ireland). Why they are still locked out on Xbox 360, I do not know.
