One of my favorite games to play on Steam is the point & click power puzzler, Machinarium. The game just got denied publishing on XBLA and is now looking into publishing on the Playstation network. (Sad face!)
via Joystiq:
Microsoft’s official stance — and policy, according to Dvorský — is the company does not publish games that are not exclusive to its platforms. During the year-long process of waiting for a response from Microsoft, Amanita Design never expressed interest in submitting Machinarium to Sony’s PlayStation Network. Now that Microsoft has decided against publishing the game, Amanita is exploring Sony’s platform. “We submitted the game to Sony after Microsoft refused it,” Dvorský said.
Sad. I’d love to play with that little robot on XBLA again! Why does everything seem to be so beneficial for the PS3 lately? Maybe it’s just me focusing on everything I cant have. =/
