Sony runs a little initiative that you may or may not know about. The Sony Pub Fund is a little project that the Japanese giant uses to help small-time developers get their games out into the open for the world to see, play, and hopefully enjoy.
Sony’s Brian Silva has been hounded with questions about the initiative in recent days and he’s taken to Twitter to vent a bit of frustration/clarify the firm’s stance on the Pub Fund.
Folks have been asking if we still run Pub Fund.100% yes. It is our passion project. We prefer to concentrate on the games not us.

Before stating again that the firm is always on the lookout for new opportunities with developers.
So yes we are always looking for new awesome devs to partner with for Pub Fund.

Oi, Sony, we’ve got a great idea for a game. Want to throw a few quid our way? No? Ah, well, worth a shot…
We’re actually a little surprised that so many people have been asking for more indie games; every time the PS Plus line up is announced and there’s even the hint of a game that hasn’t had millions poured into it, players get online and start venting their angst at the indie developers. Que?!
