Sony is moneyhatting a game that to all intents and purposes is a timed exclusive on a Microsoft platform (PC)? I guess Sony is more desperate for console sales than MS.
Also please read the memo: New IP moneyhat = good / acceptable form of moneyhatting. Existing multiplat IP moneyhat into becoming exclusive = evil. Existing exclusive IP moneyhat to become multiplat and / or swap to exclusive on a different platform = They stole it from ussss, my precioussss.
Dev independantly seeing which way the wind is blowing and jumping fence to greener pastures = rat from a sinking ship = rats are smart and survivors.
Never heard of the game myself and may not notice it when it comes out, though if it 70's+ on Metacritic no doubt it'll come to PSN+ and I will probably pick it up. I pretty much "buy" every indie game that comes to PSN+.
Indies want maximum exposure, so if you're an objective indie you will focus your attention and limited budget on the platform that has the largest (by a long way) potential audience. Which means for consoles PS4 and for platforms generally PC. Though I think perhaps you get better exposure on PS4 with it being a smaller indie games library.
