Indeed, Microsoft seems to be doing all it can to lock out indie developers and keep they away from Xbone. Looks like an overwhelming tide of developers are being dismissed by Microsoft unfortunately. A quick Google of "indie developer xbox" shows how one-sided the sentiment is.

"For Xbox One [Microsoft has] granted us a license for New 'n' Tasty! but they still say you need a publisher. We don't have a publisher so we're not officially on the platform, even though we're compatible, even though we'll be ready to do it. Period.
"Why do we need a publisher when we self-finance our games, we build our own IP, we manage our own IP and we've turned nearly two million units online as indie publishers sold – not free downloads? Why? What's wrong with us?
"Who's in touch with their audience? And who seems out of touch with their audience? All we know is we've tried to get our games on their platform and we can't do it – and I even helped them release the box."
