Gamasutra:
It's been almost three years since Sony launched PlayStation Plus, a paid subscription program that will probably be looked back upon as the most transformative evolution in console business models this generation.
While Treyarch has seemingly already killed off the current Call of Duty Zombies crew, there may be more to their fate than meets the eye.
Check out the fresh Final Fantasy IX artwork released for its 25th anniversary, alongside new Japanese bios and merchandise!
Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer CD Projekt revealed its earnings and announced that Cyberpunk 2 is now in pre-production.
CDPR please! Make a free Switch 2 upgrade of Witcher 3 or even with a small fee of $2.49 (like Fantasy Life did).
Of course it is. Surely that's obvious?
I doubt many developers are in the habit of signing up to detrimental promotions.
Edit - Rationality seems lost on some people.
I haven't read a single developer complain about their games ending up on PS+. The service is fantastic and a true value add proposition.
Yes it is.
Think about this. BlazBlue is launching Chrono Phantasma later this year, so they give BB Continuum Shift Extend away for free which has both story modes in it. People will play that one, cause it is in fact free, then they might consider getting BB:CP.
It is kind of a free advertising method, inFAMOUS 2, Borderlands, Saints Row 2. Just before the next installment comes out you can get more people on the franchise in theory.
Other times they might have large sales, but after 6 months decide to give it away to increase "word of mouth" spread about the game.
Sure.....its good for both developers and customers. PS plus only put out free games after they been out a while. Once sales slow, then PS plus members get a few bones tossed their way.
Everything else is just greedy crying.
