    Review closed?

    Hey!

    Yesterday at 11am UK time the last person approved my game ("Brain Party") and its status changed to "Review Closed". It's been in that state for the last 29 hours, which is making me worried - the last time it got approved* it switched over to being on sale very quickly, but now it seems to be stuck in limbo.

    Is everything OK? Can someone flick the magic switch that changes Review Closed to Approved, please? I'd really rather like the game to be on sale in time for the NXE launch, and it seems that many thousands of people are already getting NXE early**, so please could someone just put it up? :)

    Sorry for nagging; I know that 29 hours isn't a very long time, but for me - having done my best to get this thing out on time - it seems like an age.

    Take care,


    Paul

    * I had to remove the game from the marketplace because a bug with NXE caused it to crash after the trial time ended. MichaelK from MSFT provided me with a one-line workaround, which is why I had to resubmit.

    Its always taken around 48 hours to go from closed to approved... there is nothing wrong.

    This delay period is normal.

    I'm afraid there is no "magic switch" we can flip - in fact nobody at Microsoft has the ability to interfere with the peer review process for any particular game. That wouldn't be fair to other developers, and would be a slippery slope to start down...
