Well, it seems like this has changed quite a lot (after the plenty of policy reversals Microsoft has done ever since), and today, it has announced that indie developers will soon have access to the Xbox One-focused Unity development tools in the near future for free.
As you might know, the Unity 3D engine is quite popular nowadays between the developers’ community. A lot of games are being developed using this engine such as Thomas Was Alone, Slender: The Eight Pages, ARMA Tactics, Deus Ex: The Fall, among many other games.
Now, if you’re an indie developer and want to develop some games for the upcoming next-gen console from Microsoft, the Xbox One, you might be able to benefit from this initiative.
This isn’t the first time in which a company has done this, as some time ago Nintendo took the same measures for developers of Wii U games.
