This would make Sony extremely grateful for the 1,000 plus developers who happen to self-publish through the PlayStation 4. This would end up as a two-way relationship that would also benefit the PlayStation brand, and this is why Sony has decided to extend a word of thanks to these self publishers.
Out of the 1,000 developers who are licensed globally to self-publish, approximately 200 of them happen to be in North America. Without the need for a middleman now, independent developers have one less thing to worry about especially in terms of revenue. We hope that the independently published titles would not end up to be games that are not worth playing, and who knows? A new hit IP might actually emerge. [Press Release]
