Runic&#8217;s Torchlight II skipped its XBLA release for the same reason.<\/p>\n<p>Presumably Just Add Water is now looking to get the game launched on the Xbox LIVE Games on Demand channel instead, which does not impose file size restrictions.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2012\/02\/17\/jaw-talking-to-two-or-three-third-parties-about-strangers-wrath-xbla\/\" target=\"_blank\">VG247<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just Add Water in talks with &#8220;two or three&#8221; publishers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":29205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[31,1493,1491,1492],"class_list":["post-32656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-xbox","tag-active","tag-just-add-water","tag-oddworld","tag-strangers-wrath"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32697,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32656\/revisions\/32697"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
