It's a bit counterintuitive to a common gamer to wish for less releases. But that's not what Kassatsu was asking for in that thread in the first place. Our money and attention is limited. If the store has scheduled weekly updates there's an expectation from the customer to have interesting content releasing every week, if not, the customer loses interest and stops visiting the store altogether. Spreading the releases will keep the user visiting the store just to keep up with the content. It's not rocket science and I'm sure people that make these decisions at Sony know this, but there must be something in the decision process that doesn't let them achieve this. Whatever that is, Sony should quickly fix it.
Are people still going on about this? No, it's still stupid. Microsoft's slot system fucking sucks and has screwed over a number of developers that just want their games out. It SHOULD be the developer or publishers decision when their games come out and if they happen to fuck that part up, that's their fault.
Why people are saying this when Steam is by far the most successful DD service and doesn't bottleneck releases, is beyond me.
Anyway, I would've bought this game but seeing as it never came out on the Aus/NZ PSN, I didn't exactly have a choice. Not to say I blame the developer for that, as SCEE should have recognised this problem YEARS ago and come up with a solution (preferably incorporating the ratings board costs into the cert fees), but it still pisses me off. Sucks that he's put himself in so much debt though.
