Comments on: Sony on PS3 Hobbyist Game Dev http://www.linuxgames.com/archives/9136 Embrace your Inner Penguin Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:58:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Anonymous http://www.linuxgames.com/archives/9136#comment-166542 Anonymous Wed, 25 Apr 2007 10:30:20 +0000 #comment-166542 You mention why not license? Because they're too lazy to police the people that'd be cheating and publishing games for that console- it'd cost them a sizable chunk of that per title, per unit royalty payment that they extract from every title not published by Sony directly. They want their cut of the whole pie without having to work for it. And we won't even mention "piracy" here... You mention why not license?

Couldn't they just put some sort EULA, etc. that you cannot develop/sell commercial games for PS3 w/o license? I never understood why they restricted the access.

There's no way Sony is going to give full access to the GPU, allowing unlicensed applications access to the same power that you would normally have to buy a license for. Note that this restricted access flies directly in the face of his C64 experience where the platform was completely open. “So, if we can make certain aspects of PS3 open…”
