Crowded release schedule and games giveaway could affect sales
A number of PSN developers have expressed concern over Sony's plans for the return of the PlayStation Store.
According to reports, Sony intends to bring the PlayStation Store back online next Tuesday, May 24, and to release two content updates per week - rather than the usual one - for two weeks in a bid to make up for lost time during the recent PSN outage.
Sony is also offering PSN users two free games as part of a 'Welcome Back' pack, but its plans aren't going down too well with some studios.
"As a developer, I feel very sorry for those teams that did try to release their titles during the PSN outage window," an unnamed developer working on 'a high profile PSN game' told Edge.
"Beyond that, I feel sorry for those that are attempting to launch games in the days following the outage, as there will likely be such a backlog of traffic that it may be hard to be noticed in the flurry of 'get everything back up and running'."
Ilari Kuittinen, CEO of Outland and Dead Nation developer Housemarque, also told the site: "My biggest concern is whether people will come back to use the system and browse the PlayStation Store.
"On top of that, the second issue is that everyone now gets games for free (including our Dead Nation and Super Stardust HD), so people might just play the free games for a while. By the time they are ready to buy something, Outland is maybe old news."
