This is actually some pretty sweet news. If only I had some initiative...

Though this sounds like a good idea, is £10,000 enough to develop a beta? £1,000 a month per programmer (salaries for professional programmers are almost double that) for three months = £9,000, with £1,000 left. I know this is for existing small/indie developers, but £10,000 isn't that much compared to how the industry works.

It's not for HUGE COMPANIES. It's for indie devs. They probably wish they could earn a thousand a month... Also, it's not funding they're products. It's helping them fund them.

For that money, I could take a break from from work and work fulltime on my game art assets. That way I'd still be working the 60 hours a week I am now, just a 200% increase in time spent on my own game.

I would like to see an indy dev make up a good learning game for children. When you look at the average age of a ps3 owner, the odds are good that many of them have children and it would sell. It's a genre that Sony hasn't touched, and if pitched right, they would be sold on it pretty easily. Too bad I know nothing about programing.
