The hardships of XBLA development continue, as the developers of Monaco, Pocketwatch Games, recently described their overall disappointment with the game’s low XBLA sales. Due to its complications during launch, Andy Schatz of Pocketwatch expressed his thoughts on the results of the Xbox 360 version.

Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine is a wickedly fun co-op game to play, but a what if it had included a multiplayer mode as well? Would it have taken away from the immersive co-op gameplay we have now? Andy Schatz recently described some reasons why Pocketwatch Games decided to stick to their co-op guns and forgo some competitive modes for Monaco.

It’s not always easy to going against the grain, especially when wanting to make significant changes within a culture. This, however, didn’t stop Pocketwatch Games from making a statement with Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine. Andy Schatz recently wrote a special editorial to Kotaku about why they chose to take the game in the co-op route instead of just going a generic multiplayer one.
