Well-known mobile games developer, has criticized Microsoft because of the failure of Windows Phone



Jesús Bosch, CEO of Game Trooper, suggested the policy of Microsoft regarding the mobile version of Windows. In 2014, Josh founded his company with the goal of porting popular games from iOS and Android to Windows Phone with Xbox Live support. Over the next few years, the Studio has released for Windows mobile a huge number of hits, including Tiny Troopers, Age Of Cavemen, Overkill 3 and Imperia Online. But as you know, Windows Phone and later Windows 10 Mobile are unable to compete with iOS and Android, so Microsoft stopped developing the mobile platform.

“We live and breathe mobile games. And we know how to create hits. Windows has great potential, but many developers of indie games has no plans to release titles on that platform. We do it for them,” said Josh Segall, co-founder of Game Trooper, in 2014.

During a recent interview with Spanish website OneWindows.es jesús Bosch decided to say what he thinks about Microsoft.

“Microsoft has done many bad things in Windows Phone. From a technical point of view (with such a number of platforms with a fundamental change), and commercial (their approach to the very loyal developers, such as Game Troopers, and their strategy to attract new users was wrong),” said Jesus Bosch.

He also commented on the statement by the Vice-President of Microsoft Joe Belfiore on the cessation of development of mobile versions of Windows:

“Your decision doesn’t surprise me. I would add that it is time for you to be a little more daring and honest with the community (better late than never),” said Bosch.

While the Studio Game Trooper is not going to cease production of games for Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile, but expect high-profile announcements.

“We will continue to release content for the Windows (PC) and games for Windows Phone that can go in the coming months. But it will be due to the small margin of the platform than the support she can get from us. On the other hand, as I said, for Windows we have the next season of The Last Door and other games, which sooner or later will come. We also continue to make content for other platforms, such as VR, but at the moment we plan to move away from Microsoft, because I do not see the spread on this platform”, — said the head of Game Trooper.
