There are a Sony exec interview that he said "Plus is profiable" but I can't found it fast in google right now... I think I'm using the wrong words.

I still play on getting it on WiiWare at some point. It would be nice if he got it on the Wii U eshop where the restrictions on game sales are removed. If anything it shows dedication/loyalty that he knew he might not see a single cent from WiiWare but did it anyways. He kept his word and there aren't many people in this world (especially business) that can say that.

The 270,000 downloads from PS Plus, was this via discount or as a free giveaway?

Not really. We don't know if that 270k is for the discounted version, free version, or a combination of the two. And I doubt everyone who had PS Plus downloaded it. Most Plus subscribers just get the big PS3 game every month and ignore most of the smaller PSN offerings.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

I certainly don't download everything that's free on PS+. I don't have the HDD space and I have a strict limit of downloads with my internet provider so I have to choose what I want to download.

I never downloaded that game.
