Sony open to buy-in alpha games for PlayStation platforms
"Yeah, if it doesn't have any bugs that are completely destroying the world," Adam Boyes, VP of publisher and developer relations at Sony America told Joystiq last night at the PlayStation Indie Arcade event. "[CCP's Dust 514] is a great example of putting out content that you know is not final. If you want to monetize it, that's fine. I mean, if you want to put out a game that's playable and does pass the checklists and stuff, you can. If it doesn't sell and you can't support, you may not want to support, but we absolutely support that."
Boyes noted the buy-in alpha openness wasn't just for the upcoming PlayStation 4, but could be applied to PS3, Vita or PlayStation mobile.
He continued, "We allow that on all of our platforms, that sort of continually updating and selling. Again, if people buy it and they're passionate about it, and you want to improve it and make it better over time you can."

fknvlinkM60 I like this idea from Sony for once but they should only bring to the Ps4
You want this to only be implemented on the ps4? that is just stupid. what about vita indie developers?
It a good thing to add, but not just to the ps4. thankfully they are bringing it to everything.
Yeah, I am an xbox player/lover. But that would be gay for it to be added to just 1 thing.
