Xbox Live Indie Games program is shutting down next month
Many popular titles that have come out through the Xbox 360 era such as Super Meat Boy, Limbo, and more have already converted over to the Xbox Backward Compatibility program. While the titles won’t be available in the store anymore, gamers can still play their purchases still downloaded on their devices.
The program will have ran for eleven years. Indie developers are being encouraged to join the ID@Xbox platform now instead, ushering in an improved way to create video games for Xbox One and Windows 10.

Very sad to see happen as indie games were amazing back then. Knew it was bound to happen eventually.
