Self-publishing message emphasised as numerous indies take to the stage
Sony has demonstrated a convincing commitment to indie at its E3 press conference, calling numerous independent developers to the stage as it insisted that small studios and self publishing are vital to the PlayStation 4.
Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida opened the discussion of indies at the event.
"We are amazed and inspired by the passion of these small teams," he said, before handing over to Adam Boyes, VP of third party relations at SCE.
"Cultivating a wide variety of game experiences is in our blood," Boyes stated. "We absolutely love scouring the earth for inspirational indie developers"
Boyes reiterated that the PlayStation 4 also enables self-publishing for indies; seemingly making a nod to Microsoft's unpopular lack of support of self-publishing for independent teams (http://www.develop-online.net/news/44276/No-self-publishing-for-indies-on-Xbox-One).
