Back in March 2013 someone named Charles Jackson shared an idea on the Visual Studio User Voice service asking for XNA to be continued into version 5.
I completely forgot I’d added my vote to this.
Well, today (in fact less than 2 hours before I’m writing this) I received an email from VS Team in response to this, only 2 years after it was originally posted!
While they do suggest some others, I find interesting is they actually suggested Monogame as the first alternative to XNA.
I think is a good sign of what Monogame has become for the Indie market.
