Theory: The reason why Sony focuses on indies so much.

Many of those studios will never pan out. Maybe a couple studios with big hits, but not all of them.

And it's not like Sony is giving financial support to all the indie devs. They cherry-pick a few promising ones and go from there. Sony's sponsorship of indies is pretty overblown.

How can one comment trigger so much blacklash?

I probably deserve a lot of it. Looking back, I sounded really negative when I guess I wasn't trying to be. What I was trying to say was that very few, if any, indies pan out to become AAA devs on their own in the modern market, so Sony supporting indies wasn't all just about grooming them, although I'm sure they would love if a developer does pan out to become amazing.

Some of the people that have commented on my post seem to believe I'm a completely biased Sony hater from the start, so those are the ones I can't take seriously.
