We're not going to force you into bed with a publisher just to put a digital game on our network when it really isn't necessary to do so =/= moneyhatting, but thanks for playing. No worries, though. You already annihilated whatever credibility you had when you called Journey a moneyhat. Incubating a fledgling indie inside of Sony Santa Monica and allowing them to go way, way over budget and deadline to make a passion project isn't a moneyhat. Paying a publisher off for the express purpose of killing other versions of their game, is. |
Journey is as much a moneyhat as the things some people cry about MS doing. They paid a 3rd party company to make a game and took over the IP in return. People here have criticized MS for doing the same thing. It is adorable how studio size and such only comes into play for Sony though. Like I said, never change.
Self publishing is irrelevant. If the exclusive aspect were merely self publishing then Sony wouldn't have the ability to promote the games as "debuting exclusively first on PS4".
Hope those helped.
