This is unacceptable that you've had to wait that long for payment. When you say "empty rhetoric", are they saying that payment is on the way or that they just don't know what the issue is?
It boggles my mind when payment issues take this long for major companies. In my job, if something isn't paid out on time, I prioritize that above all else. It's just the right thing to do.
Welcome to February. Where some devs still haven't been paid. Including us.
Here's the official forums for reference's sake.
We've been pretty patient, used the boards to communicate, tried emailing back and forth with them, but nothing of substance ever materializes and we're left with nothing but empty rhetoric.
I don't even know what to do at this point.
Paging ID@XBOX guy.
Sucks they stopped working on this once the backlash died down but it's pretty typical. Are there others that haven't been paid since this started?
This. Getting no payments is a violation of the contract and absolutely unprofessional (and uncommon) for a company in this size.I would get a lawyer and have them deal with it.

Going by the forums the guy posted the large majority got paid already. I only see three people on there that haven't gotten paid.
OnPoint's post should have probably been a new thread, this needs more attention.

Yes, many people did get paid. And that was a great step forward. But are the three that have spoken up (and whoever else remaining that hasn't) any less relevant or less deserving of our money because of that? Everything is in line on our end -- Microsoft is still responsible for getting us our money.
And I agree. Please don't take my post of context I was simply answering what the other guy asked. By all reports as of right now only three have said they haven't gotten paid. I'm not saying this is in any way okay so please to stop trying to put extra meaning to my posts.Only 3? One is too many.
Huh? I never said they weren't or that you were less relevant. I was simply answering what he asked.

Hey,
I'm looking into this now. According to our records everyone should be totally up to date and we changed our internal reporting system for XBLIG to check for the kind of errors that happened last time earlier so this kind of situation never happens again.
OnPoint, I've sent you a PM.

Glad to see OnPoints plea has a reply - shame he had to resort to non-offical forums to get himself heard though - I'm sure that can be remedied...

So they made $6 billion last quarter, can't cut a few checks for a few hundred thousand to Xbox devs? Really MS?
Yep, it's totally a shortage of money problem.

They should know this is a huge fuckup but the PR backlash still seems not big enough for the situation to be resolved...
For what it's worth, we got paid Dec 16 IIRC (which is about a month after the deadline for getting paid).
Surprisingly enough, we just got Q4 payments a couple days ago which is ahead of the deadline.

This makes the parity clause even worse. Release first on XB1, or go through the trouble of releasing simultaneously on both consoles, but get paid later.
