@(Unverified) Play any thatgamecompany game and you have your answer. Sony doesn't require a publisher for PSN (like steam) tends to push weird titles quite a bit which helps as well, not to mention that these days console sales mostly beat PC sales.
Don't get me wrong - THIS is a better fit for PC but I can see why PSN might be interesting.

@Hunter141072 Indy games != AAA games
That the PC is THE platform for indy is hardly anything new

Meh - did anyone check that they didn't just reregister the trademark because the old one ran out? Even if they don't have a new game, they won't want to loose that

Actually quite a few big services did that. Amazons Kindle iPad app, Financial Times, Audible and basically any one else, that instead of in app purchases linked to their own store.
About half the companies that had the capability to do their own sales, I'd guess.

2$ games have quite different piracy rates from 50-60$ games. When was the last time that the PC version of a AAA title outsold the console version in the first month ?

Ironically, if they cut the filler parts and get the games below 20 hours, I'd start buying them again.

@Rob Liv Why? Elite is just another DLC season pass. If you play more than a 100 hours, why not ?

@Humtuk A loss means the company loses money. Never anything else. This case is slightly confusing, as it is still good news as they lose less than last year.

@LimitedVertigo That is the reason why sprite games hold up better. 3D games, in particular 32bit generation games, hold up much worse, mainly because they are usually less stylized and the technological gap is much wider.

@EatSleepChuck The hate is IMHO misdirected. The publisher simply messed up checking the trademarks world wide before release.

It feels unfair \o complain about somebody who released a board game with a related name before Trenched was being conceived and saved the rights because they intend to develop a VG based on it. Considering that iOS is a good platform for board game conversion that move is hardly surprising.

It is not like their squatting the trademark.
