About "The Humble Homebrew Collection":

...

Let Sony know that, as a customer, you want homebrew games, you want to see the real purpose of the Copyright Law used properly: To encourage creativity and innovation. Let them know that, as a customer, you are willing to pay for quality homebrew and that if they wanted to, they can get a share of that money. After all, all they care about is money!

Thank you


There's this thing called Playstation store.

If you want to go publish a game for the PS3 that is the way to go.....

but that would require purchasing a development kit from sony and those are expensive.  didn't you know that we are entitled to free access to all of sony's development tools?  i mean, if EPIC can give out Unreal for free certain sony should have to as well ...

About "The Humble Homebrew Collection":

The Humble Homebrew Collection is an initiative that aims to convince Sony to provide us with a legitimate and official way to create homebrew applications for the consoles that we own.

We are providing you with a free homebrew game that aims to be polished and look professionally made which includes 33 very good and addictive puzzle games. We've tried to make this homebrew games collection as good as possible so that even the anti-homebrew purists will be jealous of it.

Homebrew does not equal piracy, and this is proof of it. These games are all free and are released under the MIT license.

You are free to download these games for the platform of your choice, whether it's on a jailbroken PS3, Linux, Windows, Mac or Android.

This Homebrew game collection is a port of Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection to the Playstation 3 system and it includes 33 puzzle games. More games are being written and this collection will only increase with time.

This is one of the first homebrew games that are released on the PS3 which are above the "proof of concept" status and is not yet another backup manager, FTP server or a port of an existing emulator.

This homebrew game is still in active development and will continue to receive regular updates. The TODO list has many items on it and it will continue to improve for your enjoyment.

The main purpose of this website it to serve as a petition against Sony's unjust behavior towards their customers. You are encouraged to sign the petition, donate to the developers or you can simply download the games. The choice is yours.

If you wish to do so, you may also donate to the developers of this homebrew application, as well as to the EFF, which helps defend our rights in this digital age.

It is time to vote with your money, boycott Sony, request your legal homebrew and request your freedom and let them know that they have much to gain by giving us access to the homebrew that we deserve.

Let Sony know that, as a customer, you want homebrew games, you want to see the real purpose of the Copyright Law used properly: To encourage creativity and innovation. Let them know that, as a customer, you are willing to pay for quality homebrew and that if they wanted to, they can get a share of that money. After all, all they care about is money!

What about Sonys rights? so what if they have billions, they started from nothing and have worked work many years to get where they are today, if you want homebrew on their designed console, you should have to pay like every other developers and jump the same hoops, if you just jumped in with the idea of paying sony some of the profit after, wheres the rights of all the other developers who had to pay?........Theres so much bullshit in all that its un true

theyre missing the point, sony looses money selling the hardware and makes money back by licensing from developers to put their software on the console.

if all the software is free sony cant charge licensing fees and they cant make back any money that they had lost selling the hardware. we may loose software innovation, but we gain hardware innovation (point in case: cell processing). software innovation is best left to home computers where no licensing fees need to be charged (microsoft actually pays people to put their software on windows and then package it saying "FOR WINDOWS! HURRAY!").

What are you laughing at? They are already up to $250! Meanwhile, Sony just lost $3 billion.

$416 now.

Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

But even if they could afford the development kit is that any guarantee that Sony would accept the games onto Playstation Store? If you are an upstart indie development studio, you're not going to get on PSN. If an indie studio makes it onto PSN, it's usually because they made their name before with computer or smartphone games. Right now the only real option for an unspart indie developer is the home computer or Android. Even the Critter Crunch guys started with mobile games.

The PC and Android are the wild, wild west. Even if your stuff isn't accepted by Android Market, you can still set up your own website and sell your apps there and you don't have to mod a PC or root an Android to play these homebrew games. You might get in Apple App Store or Xbox Live Indie Games but Apple are notorious app rejection nazis (and you'll have to jailbreak an iOS device to play "unauthorized content") and you need to pass a community-led peer-review to get on Xbox Live Indie Games.

This is why the PC and Android (so as long as Google keeps it open) will always be awesome. It's a truly democratic process. Anyone with a computer and some pirated software and e-books that is willing to learn can call themselves a videogame designer (not necessarily a good one though. lol).

Glad to be able to support Homebrew :D 

Now I just need a Wii port >_> 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

I don't agree with their purpose, but I admire their reasonable and peaceful methods. Create a plan that lets the consumers decide if Sony is wrong, instead of performing their own actions that the majority of consumers would disagree with.

Yup... this.
