Last week, Major Nelson announced that the Xbox Insider video series on the Xbox Live Marketplace Dashboard was canceled in North America. It seems that European Xbox 360 users will have to do without the video service as well, as it has been announced that Xbox Insider will no longer be produced in the region either.
Microsoft will cease producing first party video content, and will instead host third-party content instead, such as developer diaries and so on.
Major Nelson posted an update to the original news, informing followers, ”Following the news last week that that Inside Xbox in the US was to cease production, the team in Europe has been investigating what makes most sense for them and the Xbox LIVE community as they continue to strive to deliver the latest gaming and entertainment news for users across the region.
“As such, they have decided to move away from the current first-party produced content model and transition to a third-party content model, which will provide timely and locally-relevant content to users across more of the EMEA markets. Whilst this means that the Inside Xbox brand will effectively be retired in Europe, the focus remains on continuing to provide the Xbox LIVE community with the latest and best in games and entertainment news and information.”
Fortunately, the Major Nelson Podcast will be unaffected by the cancellation.
