| Adinnieken said: Sony's approach, if they're not the publisher, is going to create a nightmare situation in the long run. Indie developers go out of business all the time. It isn't going to be less true on PSN. I'm not saying indie developers are bad, they aren't. It's just they're going to have problems down the road. |
I'm not really sure how this is any different from the myriad digital distribution services on PC. This is not a future problem. It's something that happens right now on those services and, as you mentioned, has even occurred on PSN, XBL, etc.
So with the proliferation of indies on consoles, let's agree that this issue will become more widespread next generation. So what? It seems to me that it's far, far better to lower the barrier of entry and have those games, even if they are eventually delisted, than to never have them at all. Like, obviously so. To the point that I'm not even sure how it's debatable.
