Hmmm, so $500k for one indie title...
Each month we get at least 1 PS4 title, 1 PS3 title and 1 Vita title, so IGC costs Sony $1.5m AT least per month (since you'd imagine stuff like Bioshock/DMC might be more expensive)
Before PS4, PS+'s userbase was about 1-2m, but that has tripled. Given it's about $5 per month, seems like Sony is still getting some money out of, but that just seems to be guess work
The question is, will Sony only do the development deal with them if they put the game up for free? Because maybe you only get the free development deal if you offer the game for free for a bit at a discounted rate.
But anyway, when AAA games are going to cost you at least $50m, it's probably a good idea to spend less than half that to get a decent stream of indie titles to the PS4 and Vita. Just so long as they keep pumping out those AAA titles too |
Just remember that (some of) the Indie games are on PS+ on launch. This hardly happens to AAA games.

I'm not sure. I was too excited by his PS+ news to ask that. My words were, "you're living my dream man" hehe. Their publishers says take the money and run, so they'll definitely take it.
