Rami Ismail: Vlambeer’s indie hits come to PlayStation 4 first because they love working with Sony

Maybe you’ve noticed that a lot of indie games end up on PlayStation 4 before Xbox One, and one of the studios that has partnered with Sony time and time again has shared one of the reasons for this.

Vlambeer business boss Rami Ismail says that he loves working with the people at Sony, and that’s why his studio has brought its games like Luftrausers and Nuclear Throne to PlayStation devices before the competition. In a fireside chat at the GamesBeat Summit in Sausalitio, California, Ismail gave his view on the business of making games from the perspective of an indie developer. He pointed out that teams of one or two people don’t always think about business first. Instead, they often make deals because they have a deep connection with their work, and they want to partner with outside companies that share that passion.
