I think minis developers should work together to try and get Sony to improve their online services. They are still severely lacking in a number of areas.
- Users should be able to log into their PSN account from MediaGo/PSP/PS3 and immediately see what games have updates available for them. If Sony are going to force all software to be downloaded through them they need to let the customers know when updates are available!
- Users need to be able to easily view a list of changes made in an update to determine whether the update applies to them before downloading.
- Sony need to be more responsive in uploading game updates (EU especially). They need to realize that each time they delay an update it is potential loss of sales for the companies involved with the game. If an update has been submitted to Sony it should be made available for download within a reasonable timeframe to customers of all regions.
It seems like Sony just don't care about updating minis on the PSStore. Zenonia is missing an update on the EU store, ASS for 2 Bucks is missing an update on the EU store, Mad Blocker Alpha is missing an update on the EU and/or US store.
At least it isn't as bad as Nintendo's DSiWare though where purchases are locked to a single console. Lose/break the console and you have to repurchase all your DSiWare. :|
EDIT: I'm not trying to completely bash Sony's online services. For what they have done since they started focusing on online content they have done a good job but there are still numerous areas which they could improve upon in my opinion.
