Good thing GTA V isn’t a little indie game. Because, when put up against Sony’s objectionable content guidelines for self-published games on PlayStation 4, it seems like Rockstar wouldn’t be able to do most of the stuff in the game.
“Another month has passed us by and during it, many incredible indie games released so let's celebrate the 12 best from March 2024.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“February is always a short month but it sure didn't feel like it with all of the top-quality indies that released during it. Let's dive right in!” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
“It's a new year and with that comes a fresh batch of indies so here are the very best of 2024 so far. I hope you enjoy this look back. 😊” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
What is weird by this is that there are games coming to the Playstation platform that go against these guidelines. I guess it is used to stop AO content flooding it
I really don't see how the content of GTA wouldn't make it past those guidelines, yet something like Hotline Miami does. Obviously those guidelines aren't as strict as they seem.
I'd imagine this is just the kind of standards they all have in place to make sure the really ridiculous, unnecessary, or offensive stuff doesn't make it through. You never know if some indie decides he wants to finally develop "Hitler Saves The World".
Sounds like they're covering their own asses to prevent people from releasing porn simulators.
I'm guessing MS has the same or similar policies.
The important thing to remember, is that Binding of Isaac will be given away on PS+. If that's the bar, we're in pretty good shape.
