Sony has seperate divisions. The vidoegame division is profitable. PS+ is profitable. The other month BIOSHOCK INFINITE (caps on purpose) was free on PS+. They are clearly willing to spend a lot of money. It mayb be a "random indie dev" to you, but you hardly know the ins-and-outs of the Indie scene do you? The guy who made Minecraft was also just a "random indie dev" a little while ago. (I am not insinuating at all that their game will be even a fraction as big as Minecraft) Sony's scouts are obviously aware of much more than you are. And in this case so am I. I've seen the steam early access sales. I've seen the competition awards. And I've seen the Beta reviews by big sites like Eurogamer praising the hell out of it. But all of this ON TOPIC stuff aside, you are trolling Sony here and this is not the place to do it. |
I'm not trying to put down or underestimate the value of indie developers. I'm pointing out that Sony, as a company, cannot afford to money-hat uncertain projects. The Playstation division is only profitable by just a few million. It's certainly not enough to help Sony as a whole - which is losing billions upon billions of dollars each year. If anything, the tiny profits gained from the Playstation division need to go toward helping Sony as a whole, don't you think?
