You guys talk as if this guy's game isn't going to get any advertisment in the sort; Just like any new release of any game on psn, it'll receive equal treatment and if gamers are interrested, they'll buy it...
[QUOTE="Planeforger"]More Wesker. Everything else is pretty much optional. And before someone jumps on this^...yes, I have played RE5, but the series has already pulled off far sillier plot twists. Would anyone really be surprised?True... they have! But unfurtunately for us, Capcom has already confirmed that Wesker is officially dead...
yeah, not that big of a deal with every other game that was supposed to come out in the last month releasing too. he has absolutely no reason to worry about his game getting overlooked on PSN, especially with sony handing out free games. :roll:
believe what you want babe, i'm sure you've been in his position.

There's plenty of free games on PC. If you were to play through every game on major flash gaming sites you'd be busy for months. I don't see anyone complaining about getting overlooked by them.
what does this have to do with anything i posted? this has nothing to do with PC, it has to do with PSN. it's not a free flash game, it's a lot more than that. lol you still didn't even bother answering my previous question, what makes you think they're not concerned with making a good game? you seem pretty sure about that, so much so that you would be happy if they went bankrupt.
my petty comment stands.
What he was trying to get at was, there are plenty free games to be downloaded and played for free on PC; if this guy's game doesn't sell the way he expects it to, is he gonna blame it on that as well... It doesn't matter what platform is giving away the free games, he has no legitimate reason to blame any other source for his game being over looked and not selling; I mean, the guy acts as if he's the only indi developer in the world, who was effected by PSN outing; All those other indi developers games were effected by the psn outing as well, not just his; This guy obviously feels that, crying like a little school girl about his own insecurities of his game being able to generate sales, is the more formidable route. I mean, complaining about psn being down and not being able to sell your game is one thing, but blaming the lack of sales on another company giving away two (totally) different games is childish whining...
You say Sony has enough to worry about but they should also be worrying about these developers. They are what keep PSN afloat in the first place. The only way Sony makes money for the PSN is off of the things that sell on it. If things don't get sold then they don't make money, it's that simple. If these developers don't like the way they are treated on the platform they can move to another platform since every single system this gen has downloadable games. Also why does he have to honor Sony? It's their fault his company lost a form of income for 3 weeks.soulitane
No ones stopping this guy from selling his game else where... ...and PSN being down is the fault of the hackers; Sony is trying to fix that problem so that it won't happen again! But on top of all that, if you seriously believe, Sony would risk giving away free online on the risk of depending on these guys sales, then you truely are hopelessly, blind... Yeah, Sony makes money from the indi games but, the free online come from the basses that you shouldn't have to pay for something that's, otherwise, free to the world; I mean, if you would like to use you logic then, maybe selling crappy games like this guy's games and not making a profit is the reason Sony is now offering premium psn...
Yeah maybe they're being a little silly with that. But I think that if they release a good game, people will buy it. Even if it isn't on the front page of the store for half a week longer than it will be :roll:
good_sk8er7
Exactly what I've been trying to tell these people... gesh... If people want it, they'll go buy it... Two mesly free content give away, is not gonna determine people's overall exception of his game...
Don't worry, the bad man isn't going to come and take away your free games. He's just expressing his concern on how the whole PSN fiasco will affect their title, it's kinda his job, you know, being the CEO and all.ManicAce
Yeah... Being a CEO means, worrying more about how your company is going to get it's product into consumers homes; Not whining on video game websites and putting the blame on stupid stuff like, people getting free content!
May I ask you to read over what you just posted, and if you truly believe in that then....just wow.

Either elaborate or don't post at all.
Simply, you(like TC) have no idea how the game business or even business in general works at all. This industry is almost infamous of the scenarios that sometimes success from a game have nothing to do with the quality of the product and is in no control by any one person or group of people. If you think the dev in question is making his complaints because of 'insecurity' and therefore the failure of his company will make you happy then that just means two things: you obviously don't possess the intellect of analyzing his situation in a reasonable and informed manner and you don't have no sympathy or have an overly cynical morality.
Here we go with this " you have no idea how to run a business" crap again... (as if any of you would know!)... Seriously, any "legitamit" business man will tell you that running a business is a risk in itself... There are no guaranties! If any of you had a real job, you would know this... I don't care if you work for the Hospital, if you're a bus driver, or you work for freekin' McDonalds, EVERY business has to compete; Example: If Burger King starts giving away free burgers for a limited promotional purpose and McDonalds decides to keep selling there burgers at regular price, then guess what, people are gonna start flocking to Burger King. It's nothing "personal" but, it's what they feel they have to do for better business purposes and McDonalds is just going to have to learn to compete with that... The guy in the article clearly has no honor when it come to running a risky business such as, being an independent developer; Surly, he feels whining about it to gamers is a much more reasonable approach... Clearly, Sony has enough to deal with rather than, worry about this guys game not making the "top ten".
TC has absolutely no clue on how game development or game businesses works.

^ This, he has proved it with every post he's made so far lol.and I suppose you two do know what it takes to run a business, right? So easy for you to try and disregard the point of the thread cause you have no smart answer...
