Xbox Live Arcade / Indie Games

There are lots of badges around Xbox Live Arcade but for Xbox One users this is pretty pointless as XBA isn't on it, but what about Indie titles, are they added under the same boat or does this badge become somewhat unobtainable to me?

But, even if you only own an Xbox One and not a 360, there are plenty of 360 XBLA games already backwards compatible, and more being added every month, so, no, it is not unobtainable for you.

TA manually identifies each game as part of the ID@xbox program. Perhaps a better suggestion would be to create a new badge archtype, that would be for ID games, but it would involve some extra coding as the site would have to make a listing of each game in that program.
