Most things companies do that are beneficial to others could be filed under a PR play. This is weak criticism of an ultimately consumer supporting move. When it comes to Covid19, Sony has easily been one of the more proactive companies. They reacted quickly from withdrawing from conventions that could've been hot zones for infection. They let their staff work from home fairly early, additionally giving them additional funds to make the work at home process viable for them. They opened up a fund to help covid 19, victims. They have opened up this indie fund for Indies. And they are giving out some free games to all their customers. You can't say this of many others. |
Okay. That's all good stuff. But, how does that apply to my point?
The gaming industry is having a great time right now. Devs need less help now than they did before this started. With that in mind, the program only makes sense for the optics.
