Freaking Sony, quit making things for developers so simple and convenient!

We pretty much knew this already.

Well since Sony looks to be packing up their first party studios, they need indies more than ever

Whatever, the indie craze will be gone in a couple of years,

What I really wanna know is how indie games and PS+ work. Every dollar is important to an indie developer, so I wonder what kind of compensation they get with some of their games releasing on PS+ day one.

Wow...

Sony finally exposed.

I'd imagine it's a similar concept to how it works when a publisher funds a game. The developer would now have a lower potential amount of revenue (as the publisher will take some in return for their investment), but they also heavily reduce their own risk. Sony and the indie developer probably sit down and find an amount deemed low enough for Sony to still make a profit from PS+, and high enough for the developer to walk home with money in their pockets and no fear of failure.

Sony deserves the leadership this generation

Good to hear!

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if it's here to stay, considering how risky AAA games are becoming.
