| The Fury said: Guaranteed income can be hard to pass up, regardless of where it comes from. You could put your game on PS Store, Steam and Xbox Live and wait for the money to come in to pay for it's development, or Sony just pay you 500k, paying for development and let extra non-PS+ sales and steam/Xbox Live sales bring in a profit. Especially if those that do download it, may recommend it. |
Exactly. Many developers have highlighted the value of the boost in visibility that PS Plus offers. http://www.vg247.com/2013/12/17/ps-plus-is-strong-platform-for-introducing-indies-to-new-audiences/
Furthermore giving your game away for "free" with PS Plus can be a great decision financially. Besides the payment from Sony it allows the developer to sell additional content to a much bigger customer base such as the $9 Outlast: Whistleblower DLC.
