Indie Games Celeste and TowerFall Delisted from Xbox in Support of BDS Movement
Developer Maddy Thorson has confirmed that the popular indie title Celeste, along with TowerFall, has been removed from the Xbox platform. The delisting is reportedly a strategic decision intended to support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. This move follows similar actions within the indie gaming community; earlier this month, developers House House announced that their game Big Walk would skip an Xbox release for the same political reasons. These removals highlight an increasing trend of independent developers using platform availability as a form of political expression.
