Bossa won’t work for console manufacturers who don't promote interconnectivity, says studio co-founder Henrique Olifiers
Vita will suffer a “horrible, premature death” if it doesn’t open up to multiplatform accessibility, Bossa co-founder Henrique Olifiers has claimed.
Olifiers said that the UK studio would not develop games for consoles because of their closed systems, and believes manufacturers would suffer in the long run if they did not change their stance on interconnectivity.
“I hate the fact you cannot play a game on the PS3 against the same game on the Xbox 360 or PC,” Olifiers told Videogamer (http://www.videogamer.com/ps3/the_last_guardian/news/vita_to_suffer_a_horrible_premature_death_says_bos sa.html).
“Walled gardens in a world where people are freely connected all the time is just a dumb idea that limits what is achievable.”
He added: "Valve is bang on, proprietary stuff is madness, we should be moving to more open platforms, to interoperability, bringing everyone together.
