"Do we feel the need to go out and buy outright exclusivity? Probably not"

Does Sony actively engage with the indie studios to secure exclusive games and content or is it a case of them approaching Sony?

It's a bit of both. We worked really hard this time around just to make the platform accessible to smaller developers - it's not having silly rules and procedures and bureaucracy, keeping the paperwork to a minimum, facilitating access to development kits, having a development environment that's fundamentally a whole lot easier to work with than it was last time around...

It's that approach, which makes us friendlier to indie devs, and on top of that, the icing on the cake is that we will go out and look at a small number of games and seek to help the developer make those games as successful as they possibly can, and that support can take a whole range of forms.

It can take the form of financial support, it can take the form of having Sean Murray from Hello Games on the stage at E3, there are many ways to do it and we try not to be prescriptive and say "this is the template you have to follow, this is the path." We just talk to each of the indies that we really want to work closely with and find out what presses their hot button and see what we can do to help them. Sometimes we can, and sometimes we can't.

This will probably get less reactions, if you do that but you might want to put the fact that he's talking about indies here in the title.

''We don't buy exclusivity ''

they just did this with Dreamfall Chapters though. It was scheduled for Wii U and PC and then now its console exclusive to PS4 lol

It's still coming to PC. And from what I read, they delayed WiiU version themselves.Because it makes no sense for Sony to pay to keep it off WiiU, it's not like they're competing against each other.

Pretty sure he said he didnt feel they need to.  Like some other company's need to now because the are behind.  They could and will buy exclusivity but with 10 million sold in 9 months, they DONT need to.

That's what I got from that too! LOL

I wonder if Bungie, From Studios and Hello Games are all good heart people that pay their workers with ice-cream.

So, don´t expect more than 3 or 4 exclusives a year for PS4.

Destiny DLC says otherwise :).

For what it's worth the developer said they made that decision to focus on making one version as good as they can on twitter. So just assuming Sony bought exclusivity is a bit of a reach until we hear otherwise. If Sony did do that they didn't make a big spectacle of it at gamescom so I'm doubtful.
