Indie Game Returns Microsoft Funds As Part Of Genocide Boycott
"The people we corresponded with at Microsoft have been very understanding of our decision. The studio believes that the growing movement has the potential to pressure Microsoft to cease its complicity with Israeli genocide."
"Speculative Agency did state that their decision would mean giving up the opportunity to reach the large audience of players on Xbox, increasing our financial risk and decreasing our potential player pool."
Speculative Agency, developer of the narrative courtroom deck-builder All Will Rise, has ended its contract with Microsoft and returned developer acceleration program funding in support of the No Games for Genocide boycott. The studio believes this movement can pressure Microsoft to cease complicity with Israeli genocide. Narrative director Meghna Jayanth confirmed Microsoft agreed to the contract termination, with details still being finalized. The decision means forgoing Xbox's large player audience, increasing financial risk and reducing the potential player pool. Xbox has been removed from the game's platform list on the studio's website.
