Jonathan Blow, the twisted mastermind behind critical darlingBraid,has criticizedMicrosoft’s certification requirements, suggesting that the overall quality of an Xbox Live Arcade game can be hurt if too much time is wasted making the platform holder happy. “They removed some of the requirements for XBLA games, but there are still a lot of requirements, and I believe that, at least for a single-player game like my game, the vast majority of these requirements are unnecessary,” Blow explained....
