Q-Games Developer Comments on PSN Game Sharing for PS3

[PS3 News]

Update: It appears Dylan Cuthbert is not alone on his stance towards PSN gamesharing, as David Jaffe also recently http://twitter.com/davidscottjaffe/status/12362440730 his thoughts against it.

Recently it was reported that the PSN European Terms of Service only allowed three activations, which was quickly corrected by SCEE's MusterBuster stating it was a typo and five activations are still allowed on the PS3.

During that time Dylan Cuthbert (developer of the upcoming PixelJunk Shooter) of Q-Games commented on PSN game sharing via http://twitter.com/dylancuthbert, to quote:

"Good news, 3 is plenty!"

When someone asked what will happen to the limit if his PlayStation 3 broke down, he responded with the following:

"If you had a lot of hardware failures Sony are actually quite receptive to resetting the count (if you ask them nicely)."

Finally, he added the following statement in regards to game sharing:

"Running on 3 accounts should be enough for anyone really, and re-downloading is unlimited - the 24hr lockout is fairest tho."

Finally, for those who didn't know: Sony's Playstation Network allows "game sharing," which is a method where you can download the same content you bought from the PlayStation Store on one PlayStation 3 to another by activating your PlayStation Network account on the other system.

Its not a big deal. Well maybe for some it is but 3 or 5 is still a good number. The fact that we can share psn games is great all by itself.
