That can be grouped with Development costs. Even if it didn't 1gig DLable game=5-10 dollars 1gig=1 dollar(geustimating not literal) if your game sells a million, you owe a million......but you made 5-10million this can cover that with no problem, not forgeting the fact that you dont have any dev fees and can completely doit the same way again. Very good investment. |
The fund is for "development costs" only. Not bandwidth costs. I'm not saying that they won't make profits, I'm saying the so called incentive on Sony's part will evaporate after so many downloads. This will basically have meant that you could have gotten the same if not better profits going XBLA, especially since you could then offer a demo at no extra charge.
Basically this investment isn't really much of an incentive unless your game is expected to not sell in the hundreds of thousands figures. If you have a $5000 developed game that is only 256mb size and you get 10,000 downloads, sure it is a great incentive and deal!
