SCEE paid $20,000 and Unity licensing fees to get Energy Hook on Vita first?

Fristrom told Eurogamer the PlayStation deal came about after a brief Twitter exchange with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's Shahid Kamal Ahmad. Ahmad had asked developers what it would take for them to port to Vita before other platform. Fristrom's response was for Sony to cover the cost of licensing the Unity game development engine and front up a $20,000 "incentive".

"I can make something like that happen for you Jamie, like before," Ahmad replied. "Your work is the bomb."


What does "$20'000 incentive" mean? did they just give him the money or is it like advanced payment for potential sales?
