Microsoft will not be publishing a new Xbox Live Arcade game this week. The lack of new content this week seems to be due to the release of Grand Theft Auto IV.
The publisher’s Gamerscoreblog commented “there will be no new Xbox Live Arcade title this week, and we anticipate all Xbox 360 controllers will be busy with [GTA IV].”
Many gamers were less than pleased with this announcement prompting online community manager Nelson Rodriguez to respond. “We definitely understand the complaints about the lack of an XBLA release this week.”
“There are certainly people who won’t be playing GTA IV, and would want to see an alternative on the Arcade, but to be fair, any game released this week will not get a fair chance to reach everyone who the publisher might want to reach.”
“There are a ton of games out there to still try, and a publisher who might have released a game this week will probably be thrilled to have the entire public’s undivided attention when they do launch.”
Looks like thats that then.
