First revealed in 2014 as a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/papers-please-obra-dinn-demo\/\">follow-up to\u00a0the successful <em>Papers Please<\/em><\/a>, <em>Return of the Obra Dinn<\/em> is a mind-bending puzzle game with a visual aesthetic that may be unlike any other. It launched in 2018, and recently the developer tweeted out some frustration about his title in connection with Sony.<\/p>\n<p>After being considered one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/best-indie-games-2018\/\">best indie games of 2018<\/a>\u00a0by many, now seems like a good a time as any to discount<em>\u00a0Obra Dinn<\/em> on PS4. However, Pope said\u00a0Sony has denied his request to discount\u00a0the game,\u00a0which isn&#8217;t the first time this has happened to indie developers on the PS4.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/puzzle-games-impossible-complete\/\">10 Puzzle Games You Have To Be A Genius To Complete<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to Pope&#8217;s tweets, <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/return-of-the-obra-dinn-review\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Return of the Obra Dinn<\/em>, which reviewed well upon release<\/a>, is going on sale for its anniversary &#8220;on most platforms,&#8221; but Sony purportedly denied the request on PS4. If this were a one-off occurrence it may\u00a0have just been a small, contained bummer, but Sony has apparently been putting a stop to sales for some time.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dukope\/status\/1317153457573253123\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Once the news that Sony denied Pope&#8217;s request broke, a Resetera user went digging through Twitter for similar situations. Indie developer Michael Hicks stated that his game,\u00a0<em>Pillar,<\/em> was allowed to be discounted in Europe, but not North America.\u00a0@LucBernard tweeted about his game not being allowed to be discounted on Vita. Meanwhile, French solo game developer\u00a0@COWCATGames has tweeted out frustration with not being able to take advantage of Sony sales, claiming that 90 percent of revenue comes from those opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Rose of No More Robots claimed that <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/indie-game-sales-ps4\/\">small indies don&#8217;t sell on PS4<\/a>,\u00a0stating that only five percent of sales for one of their games came from PS4, nowhere near the same success as on the Switch and Xbox One. Additionally, the game launched with a discount on the Switch, but\u00a0that was denied with the PS4 version of the game, as Sony told him that it was &#8220;too busy&#8221; to accommodate that request.<\/p>\n<p>During the <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/ps5-potential-problems-at-launch\/\">transition to next-gen for Sony<\/a>, it is possible that requests for discounts and things of that nature have\u00a0fallen\u00a0to the wayside, and that could be the case for Pope and <em>Return of the Obra Dinn.<\/em> However, examples of indie developers\u00a0being left hanging\u00a0this way go all the way back to at least 2015. Hopefully, these types of issues can improve moving forward for the Japanese gaming company.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Return of the Obra Dinn\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>is available on Mac, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/indie-video-games-2019-best-top\/\">15 Best Indie Video Games of 2019<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resetera.com\/threads\/sony-denies-yet-another-indie-discount-or-obra-dinn-50-off-on-other-platforms-see-threadmarks.307768\/page-2#post-48681184\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Resetera<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Return of the Obra Dinn&#8217;s developer Lucas Pope claims Sony denied his request to discount the indie game on PS4, which has become a trend.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":137,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Obra Dinn Developer Says Sony Denied Request to Discount Game on PS4 - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"Return of the Obra Dinn's developer Lucas Pope claims Sony denied his request to discount the indie game on PS4, which has become a trend."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97989"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/137"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97989"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":97990,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97989\/revisions\/97990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
