I.E. Microsoft treats independent developers very badly,” said Jonathon Blow, creator of the breakout indie success Braid.as well as in the movie Indie Game.The idea of Sony jumping on Microsoft's Indie Dev bandwagon is really untrue though. Sony has been very supportive of indie companies even before the PS3 was released. The only reason Xbox seemed to be the "Go To Indie Platform" was because all of the hype surrounding Braid, Fez, and Meatboy. They also got lucky on snatching an exclusive early console release with Castle Crashers, which was a huge hit.Sony had Everyday Shooter from Jonathan Mak (Quesy Games), PixelJunk Monsters, back in '07 on the PSP and later on the PS3, and they just kept adding much more from there.A few of the early indie devs Sony helped out in a big way:HouseMarque: Dead Nation, Outland, SuperStar Dust HDQueasy Games: Critter Crunch, Everyday Shooter, and Sound ShapesThatGameCompany - F.L.O.W., Flower, JourneyQ-Games: PixelJunk Series... - Shooter, Sidescroller, Racers, Eden, Monsters, 4AMCreatStudios: Digger HD, Magic Ball, Wakeboarding HD, etc..DrinkBox Studios: Tales from Space: About a Blob, GuacameleeAnd tons more with the Sony MINI format.</blockquote>
