    I admit and I am a Sony fanboy since the original PlayStation. But I believe that they are forgetting the small companies that helped them out in the first place. In my opinion what needs to happen is a total restructuring and get people who are responsible for things like the Vita store, etc actually do their job instead of just coasting by. Like any company, they need our money, money talks and BS walks but when Sony realizes what they are doing , it’s going to be too late for them. They need to recognize these smaller companies and actually extend an olive branch for them to develop for their consoles instead of the competition. I hope eventually soon Sony sees the value of the Vita still has and allow continuation for people to develop and put out games on the platform. We can dream though, can’t we?

    The type of treatment Vita receives comes from the top. Sony long ago decided that it didn’t like it’s own platform. If somebody tried to do something for it, I’m sure it was met with derision if not punishment. After a while, any plea or question would just be ignored. The 3% number is only them trying to justify a decision made long ago. If only Sony decided back then to back their own product instead of treated it like the red headed step child. (Apologies to the redheads, like me).

    Clearly, Sony gave up on their little handheld.
    It started when they saw less than stellar sales from units and 1st party games. It became evident when they kept predicting that mobile phone gaming will overtake the market. They thought they could repair the damage with the PSTV but they F-ed that up as well. Then they went full-force supporting the PS4 and PSVR to hopefully make up for the lost revenue of the PS Vita, which finally led them to only have a skeleton crew to provide worthless updates and do just enough to keep the store up and running.
    My conjecture is that the Vita could have been more successful if they had only believed in it and kept in touch with the community.

    Looking at their overall treatment of the Vita, as well as their general technical incompetence when it comes to the store, none of this comes as a surprise.
    I was pretty glad when the Switch began to get a lot of third party/indie/weeb game support, because Nintendo is where my heart has always been and it makes it that much easier for me to drop Sony entirely if this trend continues.

    Online-Only is one of the biggest cursed anti-consumer business practices of the entire gaming industry. We have so many games across all platforms that would sell really well if only they had working Single Player Offline modes.
    As for the Vita, the fact that I'm playing Phantasy Star Nova on it right now (in Japanese because it never got localized in English) is proof of what I said above. It sucks to have bought PSO2 for Vita only to find yourself unable to play it anymore because the platform is dead while the game itself is still going really well on PC. Another game I really enjoyed, Freedom Wars, never got its due spotlight because of all the shenanigans that kept the devs from finishing the full game thus having to cut content, and prevented them from making a worthy sequel.
    God Eater for the Vita was also a nightmare to buy locally, because the online store pushed the notion that each localization has to have their own localization of DLCs (leading to the publishers not wanting to spend money on making DLCs available on all versions). An example would be how the English Asia release of the game didn't accept DLC purchased for the English USA version and vice versa when both are plain English versions.
    Nowadays, it's all just games like Anthem, Outriders, Godfall, and all these other games that you seem to pay for in full and increasing prices but never really get to own. And these platforms push them as mainstream titles like they're the cream of the crop of the gaming industry, when they're all just there to subconsciously condition consumers into accepting more and more of such anti-consumer practices. It then becomes a battle of exclusivity vs availability but people will always be people and spend hard-earned cash on a console they only bought for one or two exclusive titles.
    It's just sad how these companies are devolving worse and worse on the morality side of running a business. It feels like they were given the choice to do good and profit well or do bad and profit a bit more in exchange for harming the industry and the customers, and they didn't think twice in choosing the latter option.

    I feel this article was primarily about the PS4 store and indies on PS4, as opposed to Vita. Since Vita devs largely moved on to Switch and now that new games can't be submitted, all of em are there. Granted, Nintendo has been better for these devs than either PlayStation platform.

    Instead of the gimmicky as VR all they had to do was re-realise a new iteration of the ps vita with a standard sd card port maybe a 4g and perhaps a type-c connects and call it the 4000 model. That's literally the only thing they had to along with continued support for the system then watch how sales would have jumped.
    There is a big difference between paying an extra $100 for $64gb card vs around maybe $25/30 for the same amount of storage.

    Ik I'm going to get a lot of hate for this but I personally view most indie games as shovelware for the modern age .
    Very few of them turn out to be standouts and a lot of them especially on the vita turn out to be really low grade 2D platformers.
    It's unfortunate that these devs don't get enough say in how they manage their games especially when steam has seen such great success with it and constantly promoting new indie games. but I think it's understandable and Sony's eyes that they can't just keep advertising another pixel art shooter on vita every time it comes out.
    I mean there's so many visual novels on the vita and I don't think it's worth their time. I'm sure they could do what steam does if they wanted to but they're probably afraid of looking like the switch and constantly pushing out shovelware on the front page that gets boosted whenever it goes on sale...

    Sony is definitely to blame. They refuse to support their own platform and then when it dies they act like they weren't at fault at all and blame it on the age of mobile gaming. Looking at the success of the PSP, the PS Vita could have at least been as successful as the PSP if they actually supported it. What with the potential of a more powerful hardware. But they didn't bother to support the Vita like they supported the PSP and that is why the PS Vita's potential was never fully realized. Couple with the fact that they didn't learn from some of the flaws of the PSP like the expensive proprietary memory cards. Even looking at the PS Vita store's design and UI really shows the lack of effort in supporting the Vita.

    The fact is that Sony has ps5 ps4 and psvr that they are pushing. The fact is also that they have to wade through many dev questions and concerns on a daily basis. They are going to prioritize ps5 then ps4 then psvr. They will also prioritize first party devs then second party devs then third party devs then indie devs. Indie vita devs are the last on the priority list. They are being nice just by keeping the store open for the vita. Yeah it is a good console but the fact is that not many people even own it and it’s not a current system. Hopefully they will try again in the handheld market but the vita is essentially no better than the ps3 to Sony. Two generations old. I don’t believe Sony is completely out of the handheld market. I believe they will eventually go back into the market. When is another story

    First of all, I actually like the SpongeBob game on Vita. It isn't terrible if you're looking for something simple that you don't have to focus on too much. It's a great game to play one level at a time in (I wouldn't recommend binging the whole thing). Next, Indies do have their place. One of the greatest games of 2020 was Hades (an indie game). I can honestly say that some Indie games went beyond their 2D limitations in one way or another. Fez, Salt and Sanctuary, Lone Survivor, Home, Red Bow, Machinarium, and many others did this and were great at it.

It is no surprise that they supported Indies with those staff in place then that cared about Indies just to have the higher ups or swapped staff give up and only count bigger Indies not smaller because bigger conpanies are the only ones that count not building up small ones or letting them get enough of a way on the store because of stupid obstacles and money limits that can't be reached as easily. For a platform they leave behind like the Vita sure but even if for the PS5 or PS4 it must suck. People know about big games every which way not small so continuing to support the big always disappoints me as I'll hear about them regardless of if I care about them.

    that Vita store is trash. No screenshots anymore, you're basically fed the same list of games unless you actively search for something or browse by genre/letter range....
    I don't have a need for a handheld so the first time I turned mine on in years was when they originally said the store would be closing. Figured I best pick up a few games just to have and I was shocked at just how little changed on the Vita store. The games listed were basically all the same games listed several years prior when I last looked.... While browsing if there was something that caught my eye, sorry, no screenshots... I know Sony gave up on the Vita about 2 years after it launched but it's evident the Vita and it's store were left in a state of neglect the past 4+ years.
    side note: Can we just get Sony to make another million PSTVs so I can play my Vita on the big screen and enjoy some of these games Lol. I still kick myself for not just buying one. I try to use the Vita once in a while but I just can't game on that little OLED while holding a brick and pushing those toddler sized buttons and analog stick. I'd love to play Ys VII and Persona 4 Golden along with some other games.
