DayZ, a standalone mod for Arma 2, may become yet another console exclusive for PlayStation 4 and once again it’s Microsoft’s restrictive publishing rules that have gained a win for Sony.
“We’re happy to see DayZ on any console but there is a… I guess one problem,” creator Dean Hall told Edge, “The console needs to not charge for us to do updates and it needs to be indie title friendly.”
Dean was also asked if the two console giants were still charging developers a fee for releasing patches and bug fixes.
“As far as I’m aware, Microsoft is, Sony’s not. And Sony allows you to self-publish. But who knows?”
“Maybe Microsoft will change. From our perspective, we need self-publishing because DayZ would be a great digital download title.”

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
