Indie developers WaterMelon Co. had been having trouble contacting Microsoft about getting the Kickstarter funded Pier Solar HD published for XBLA. It appears now that they have finally touched base, and will be making more official announcements soon. The other good news is that Sony is also officially on board, so the game will be coming to PS3 and PS4.
Retro-focused developer blames bots, political correctness, and "digital fart ownership" for the company's financial woes.
"political correctness" - The excuse regularly given when someone doesn't want explain what actually went wrong.
Well, ya win some ya lose some, I guess. That's the cost of doing business. I pre-ordered a copy, it got cancelled, went on sale again and I couldnt even send them a payment. The game ended up launching without me even knowing or getting notified as they promised, so everyone got a copy, I didnt so I had to order another and twice the cost, that was supposed to ship in April and now theyre shut down again, I lose money and have to wait and wash rinse repeat. If they arent able to ship my item, then I lose my money and have to deal with scalpers now identifying rarity and trying to take even more money from me, thats just my luck. I put money in to Kickstart the really expensive Elysian Shadows over seven years ago and nothing has been done with that either, I just have that kind of luck. Kickstarters for video games are just bad investments, and honestly, its gonna ruin it for everyone else, its too bad.... Just buy from reputable dealers is the best you can do, dont trust people with giving them your money til the jobs done, thats how dishonest people have become and been.

I hope this sells well for them, but I'm looking more forward to what they bring out next. Because I've already played this game and am looking forward to what's next.
well i got the ten dollar gift from my ps4 box so i may use that for this on my ps4 or get it on steam when its on sale this seems like its going to be 14 dollars anyway but can't wait to play this game.
Ah finally some more news about this game.
Can't wait to play this .
ouch!! this game was going exclusive to wii U, now we all can see how dead is this poor console, I hope Mario 3DW gives new hopes on terms of sales to nintendo.
This is great news. Ever since I heard about this game, back when it was a Genesis only game (I think) I hoped it would come to a PlayStation platform. I hope I really like this game, and I think I will, but regardless I'm going to support these guys by buying their game because I can tell the passion they put into this project.
Just wish I knew a release date.
nice i'm so happy about this going be picking it up on the ps4.
