They continued to sell dev kits past 2019? Proof? Or is that just something you invented?

This article was published a week ago, and it says:

"To make matters worse, the studio bought a new PS Vita developer kit through Sony just last month, with no warning about the looming closure. Some bigger-name developers (who asked to remain anonymous) were warned in advance."

This says to me they were indeed selling Vita dev kits until the last possible moment.

Oof. Ok yeah, that's really shitty. I can understand closing the Vita store with little warning. That's fine. People should have known it was going to be closed sooner than later. But selling people dev kits, just a month ago, while still closing the store? Sony really needs to just dial their closure date back by a year to give these devs time to finish and release their games. Either that or refund them for the Dev Kit, and the time they spent developing for Vita + lost sales.
