DarkLordSHTR Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 @RatalaikaGames The other companys(example LightWood Games( @luckydonut) and Sometime You) continues to support PS VITA. Why don't you support PS VITA? And why did you stop making it games? I don't think the reason is PEGI. Because if it were, others too would be blocked. As a customer, I want to learn this. Because I am not satisfied with this situation. If you think the prices are low, upgrade it. But do not stop supporting the PS VITA. Also Note: Moderators. Please don't delete this thread. I think many people want to hear the answer to this question. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) The answer is extremely simple: Sony shutdown their Vita Q/A department because of the Pandemic and have only let through a handful of new titles since then so until that situation improves, new Vita games will remain a rarity.

Amonares Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I heard that it's because ports for PS Vita became much more expensive to make recently so they gave up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is expensive, they can publish it as a separate game like an Sometimes You. Was PS VITA a tool they used until they made some money? Why did they leave this device, which they constantly praised. Because others still support it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it antagonistic to ask questions and ask answers? Probably because most of those games passed Q/A before or just after the global lockdown started so all the devs had to do was push a button to make the games go live. Any other games, probably go through the PS4 department but because that's backlogged with other games of higher importance, the Vita devs have to wait their turn since Sony doesn't regard them as a priority. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the answer I was wondering. Thank you for this comment. But there is no update coming from the Ratalaika company, although others have started broadcasting. And they come from ignoring.

Most of Rata's games are already overpriced for what they are so charging even more, will just turn people off and cause them to wait for a deep sale. Ultimately it's a lose-lose situation for them and any other companies who want to publish Vita games in the EU. Edited July 12, 2020 by HuntingFever Update.

They used the PS VITA as long as it was in their interest(so as long as it makes money) . And at the first difficulty they left it to his fate.

To be fair, isnt that what companies are supposed to do? Make money? If the fees for releasing VITA games is increased, so they make a loss, ofc they are gonna cut the cord. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why don't they sell it as a separate game? Just like the Sometimes You does. They don't need to sell them as bundles or cross-buy. What is the reason why I do not continue to support the PS VITA.

Well even if they release it separately they have to pay the higher price, and if not enough people buy the game it is still going to be a loss for them. Atleast that is what I get by reading those Tweets above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that would just upset a different group of people. Not everyone has the exact same thought process as you do -- they are trying to balance pleasing an entire playerbase, not just you personally. In some parallel universe, they did indeed stop offering their games as cross-buy, and someone then made a thread calling them money-grubbing for now charging twice as much for their games.

I've not bothered to go and read into as much as I should because it doesn't affect me. I do believe Ratalaika have indeed confirmed that their approach is due to PS4 adopting the Iarc system as previously mentioned in a post further up^ which I'm pretty sure you should be asking sony about if you want all the information you clearly desire. Thanks for the feedback, I'd rather have insufficient knowledge on a subject that being an arrogant prick. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback, I'd rather have insufficient knowledge on a subject that being an arrogant prick. I'm not arrogant. Other companies are still broadcasting these votes to the apple console for similar money. But while these people were already publishing, they now seem to have excused a global outbreak. Other companies started operating. Why does Ratalaika not go on? I want them to answer that. They do not answer the questions asked about this issue. So I ask this situation again to them through this site. This is not arrogance, but courage. Also, if you are not wondering why did you feel the need to write comments? Anyway I'm not wondering the answer. Because my goal is not to argue. I expect the publisher to respond to me and the people who care about this (if any).

RatalaikaGames hasn't visited the site since May 20th so I wouldn't hold my breath for an answer directly from them. I think it'd be best to try and contact them on Twitter instead of here. With that being said, I think you've already gotten your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Property_Damage Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Not to mention sony takes 30% from each unit sold so their 5dollar games werent generating enough revenue hes lucky if he was breaking even just to port everything Edited July 12, 2020 by Property_Damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewVegasNick Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 You aren't entitled to have a game release on the PS Vita. Honestly they can just not put them there because they don't feel like it and it's a 100% justifiable answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
