Of the games that aren't a minecraft clone or an arena shooter (or both!), the only games that came out this year that are on the list are #19 & #20.
That's right, the best selling XBLIG that came out this year and isn't a Minecraft clone or an arena shooter is a game where you oggle half-naked pictures of anime girls.
RIP XBLIG.
