it's only been 46 business days. but still.
So you wouldn't mind your employer not paying you for 46 days or more? You should let them know that.
Your attitude is really terrible.

This has got to be a fuck up of a few people in their accounting department or something, right? That's the only thing that would make sense.
"only"
It's almost Christmas. Do people think indie devs are rich enough where they can go without getting paid for two months?
Indie devs are beyond a doubt the most vulnerable devs in the industry. Many are just one bad failure away from being unable to continue their dream.
Microsoft is a massive company with a ridiculous amount of funds. I cannot even begin to think of an excuse that justifies this, so I hope they're thinking up some good bullshit right now.

MS pimping its bank account for the end of the year by retaining due money ? Well, it's not as if indies have enough ressources to do anything else than bitch on twitter and sue MS

Microsoft wont be getting any payments from me. They really are a despicable company. This industry would be better off without them.
Unless we're missing something huge- this has to be an accounting error and nothing more malicious then that.Microsoft wont be getting any payments from me. They really are a despicable company. This industry would be better off without them.
The XBLIG developers had better be, because they only get paid once per quarter anyway

This is a silly statement.
Less competition is never good for the consumer.

You wouldn't say that if your were waiting 3 weeks for your salary.
This is a fuck up, MS does not care about this revenue whatsoever.Theft is not a valid way of conducting business.
Lmao, no.
It's probably some accounting mishap, let's not jump the gun like we ALWAYS do until we hear the full story here.
It sucks, not saying it doesn't, but let's tone it down a notch and find out what happened here before saying shit like this.

um, if you know you get paid on such and such date, you plan for it. You cannot then go an additional two months without getting paid after already waiting an exhaustive period

when i'm put in that situation sure. Since i haven't.
Sadly, working as a freelancer for big companies like MS this is the usual way of doing things.
I edit a lot of videos for a certain beer maker (James Bonds favourite one) and they always take more than 90 days to pay up.
So MS is withholding $ that amounts to essentially spare change for the company?An accounting mishap is a late payment of a couple of days.
46 days late? You can bet your ass these devs have been screaming at MS for weeks to get their money.
We don't know the full story but it's not as simple as someone forgetting to press a button
Damn. So strange to hear about a company as big (and rich) as MS not paying their business partners on time.

Have you reached out/been contacted about the issue?We haven't gotten paid either. Unfortunately, this is nothing new for Microsoft - it feel like half the time they're late with XBLIG payments.

I honestly have no clue how this is possible in such a huge company that works with vendors constantly.
I don't think anyone should plan on money from XBLIG. Have their been any success stories out of there except for I Made a Game With Zombies?

They had to pay for the price cuts with something.
