You Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 35 minutes ago, ConAir said: I wonder if this is really rewarding (considering the cheap price of the games and the fact this company has to pay a fee to place the product in the PlayStation Store and for the ESRB/PEGI ratings). On the other hand, that hasn't stopped them from releasing new stuff. Maybe they finance the stuff through crowdfunding or public funds. Oh it's very rewarding, this developer pushes out at least 4 titles every Sunday, sometimes more. Over a year alone, this is 52x 4 x 0.5 dollars = 104 dollars. They are cheap but like micro transactions on mobile, at first, it's a just half a dollar. But buying a few gets you invested in the economy, and then you buy more, cos otherwise your rivals overtake you. That is where the profit is. So think about it, if you buy a year's worth of them, that's 104 dollars, a full price deluxe collectors edition of an actual game worth of value, that the dev gets and from a single. If they weren't turning a profit, there wouldn't be all these other series, from other devs springing up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly - when your “dev costs” are essentially just the store-listing fees, it won’t take too many sales to start turning a profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only real legends looked at the cute kitties for longer than 5 minutes I am so glad I stopped caring about trophies in this kind of obsessive manner. I may regret the past, but the way it's gone now is just too far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I partially agree with you, trophyhunting feels a bit pointless to me right now when all you have to do is buy the trophies. I don't know what my future will look like in this regard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all we need is somebody to write a script so that anyone who has this on their profile will have their profile picture changed to a clown emoji. In all seriousness, we hit the bottom when we got 10 minute platinums, now somebody handed us a shovel and the community being just eager to get to the true bottom got to digging down and down and down and down. Here you can't even clasify this as a game... Pig D made by my fellow Slovaks has more "gameplay" than this and that is saying a lot. Can't wait for people to just outright buy trophies right form the playstastion store in a few months and then we can have some great back and forth about that... slippery slope? Maybe, but at this point I don't think it's too far fetched. I miss when the biggest "shame" was having Terminator Salvation, Linger in Shadows or Hannah Montana: The Game on your profile. I'll hold out hope that most people will stay away from this. I have Linger in Shadows : ( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that I almost immediately went for games that had "easy" platinums. I got the Sega Collection just for the trophies, and this was right when they debuted!

I had a look at my list, and the game was "detuned". Linger in Shaows was a great 3D tech demo, something out of the PC/Amiga demoscene and at the time was a very unique game/idea. Certainly nothing like that on the PS3 up till that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iriihutoR84 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I mean, on some technical level it's better to waste 5 seconds and $0.50 on this than to waste 5+(?) hours and $20(?) on Hannah Montana when the goal of playing through both games are the same: the plat. Jane gives you a plat and multiple hours left over for better games while Hannah wastes half a day of your time leaving you less room for better games. i.e. Jane = best girl Edited July 10, 2022 by iriihutoR84 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony takes 30% of every sale, unless there's a threshold before they take a cut, which could be why the "games" are sold for so little. I would love to see the financials for this developer.
