next indie game sony paid for to take it away from other platforms or at least to get it first. seems like sony is even worse right now as microsoft ever was if it comes to that. at least if we talk about the amount of games they pay for and not the amount of money they use for it.


Not saying Sony isn't paying, but the primary reasons most indie games are exclusive to Sony is because Microsoft were dicks to the indie devs on policy. Since Sony has been getting all of the support Microsoft has realized the error of their ways and is softening up to indie devs by making their policies easier because they dont want to lose to Sony. Yet another smart backtrack. Essentially Sony will never be as bad as Microsoft when it comes to paying up because internally they still make more.

Well, I didn't really mean that Sony takes them away from Xbox in this thread and more PC which I also mentioned in the post Bananaking quoted some hours ago. I know that there are some reasons why Indies don't really like to support Xbox (even when the 360 has the biggest amount of Indie games) but Sony said on the stage something like "first on Playstation" even to games like Holtine Miami 2 (I think that was also on the stage) and I simply didn't believe that a game like Hotline Miami 2 would come first on Playstation when the whole success of Hotline Miami was because of the PC community. 

If these games (also games like Oddworld) will come at the same time on PC it is another story and you can forget what I posted but then Sony shouldn't call that first on Playstation to confuse me But if these games really come later on PC I'm very sure that Sony paid for that or that they said something like "stage time if you make it first on Playstation" which is pretty much the same as paying money since stage time is worth a lot.

I only mentioned Microsoft because people complain about them paying to get the games earlier and didn't really mean that the games would also release on Xbox at the same time without Sony.

That's at least how I remember this thread.
