the ridiculous thing is they had a community thing to judge the games (similar to steams greenlight), but they closed it to only creators club members access, which is ridiculous because the reason their a member is to POST content not review others, the lack of games being judged they defaulted to be published.
Hopefully microsoft will revise the program at some point (maybe next year, with the PS4 being announced next year the next xbox shouldn't be far behind.) I'd very much like to make an xbox game, but at the moment there is no incentive (I'm open to making free games, but the creators club license would put me at a loss.)
they need to drop the creators club and perhaps make reviewing part of the XBL rewards program, I imagine people would be glad to try out game trials an hour at a time and get a few microsoft points for it. providing a game sale gives microsoft more money than the worth of the microsoft points given to rewards users they've made a profit, so they have their incentive.
