Is the idea to get Sony to do what Microsoft is doing with their Indie games initiative (XNA dev environment)?

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!

Thank you


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


Sony's rights aren't being infringed by any of this.  It's actually not illegal to bypass Sony's liscensing, sony just goes very far out of their way to try and prevent you from being able to program on their console.

See Nintendo and it's losses vs Codemasters and other companies back when people started selling knockoff NES cartridges that were blank or  had unliscesned games like Action 52.

 

They'd be smart to make an XNA like system, but hey... I think the whole Geohotz case and recent hackings into sony shows that Sony has a loooong way to go before they have an understanding of the market, law and consumer forces that most software companies have.

Sony's problem is they're trying to use Hardware solutions in a Software based market.

My bad. I guess I should have said, "Play games that will make you envy flash games ON YOUR PS3!" But then you would  have thought I was talking about Sony's atrocious first party, so that wouldn't have been any good either... hm. :-/

Maybe. I think it's silly that Sony doesn't have a Indie Games initiative like Xbox Live does. Sony has PSN Minis. But PSN Minis is not for developers who are starting out. You have to build a reputation first before you can get on PSN. Same with XBLA (which is on the tier above Xbox Live Indie Games) and Wiiware. Even Xbox Live Indie Games, which does have a lot of shovelware, still has that "console mentality" where Microsoft feels that they have to have some sort of standard for quality in place (games go through peer-review) or else people are going to be turned off by seeing all this shovelware and walk away. Apparently Microsoft also took down some Indie Games that weren't selling well.

Perhaps the console developers are right though. To limit the amount of shovelware that makes its way to a platform (the more open a platform is, you have more opportunities for seeing great creations but the shovelware ratio does go up). I can't count how many times I've seen people say that their Wii is collecting dust and they're gonna sell it because it has so much shovelware. Then I challenge them by listing off a bunch of games that aren't shovelware. And then they make up all these excuses for ignoring my suggestions as if they already made up their mind that it's garbage. "but it's not HD" "oh I never heard of those games. I'm a industry stooge shill that only buys over-hyped AAA big-budget games" "but they don't have games like No More Heroes and Muramasa at my Gamestop. I don't wanna order online" blah blah blah. So I can see why Nintendo are concerned about "garage developers". Because no matter how many times you say, "hey look this Wii game isn't shovelware, this DS game isn't shovelware, and this smartphone gaming isn't shovelware", they don't give a shit. It's like their minds are already made up and you are talking to a brick wall. I really hate gamers.

I can't see what drives such an opinion though... espiecally considering case law against this.

NIntendo lost everytime they tried to sue people who made games like Action 52.
