Well, this is bananas. According to Double Fineās Tim Schafer, the cost of getting a patch up on a modern console (presumably he means the Xbox 360 and/or PS3) is $40,000.
Thatās not to upload downloadable content. Thatās just for a patch
āThose systems as great as they are, theyāre still closedā, Schafer told Hookshot. āYou have to jump through a lot of hoops, even for important stuff like patching and supporting your game. Those are things we really want to do, but we canāt do it on these systems. I mean, it costs $40,000 to put up a patch ā we canāt afford that! Open systems like Steam, that allow us to set our own prices, thatās where itās at, and doing it completely alone like Minecraft. Thatās where people are going.ā
That and, you know, Kickstarter
