Devs are total scumbags.

I only own this on Vita, yeah, I know PCMR, but its nice to be portable, but Vlambeer (or Vlambitch as I call them now) has released a statement saying the broken Vita port will not be patched, same goes for Vita and PS4 Nuclear Throne, which crashes the game if you die past the first loop, not saving your progress.

They knew well of the crashing and bugged achievements on the Vita, but they ignored them. Terrible PR move, and they have been banned from the PS Store by Sony AND the Nintendo E-Shop.

Honestly, if they break their cooperation with Sony's q&a and approval process, good on them.

Seriously, though - it would surprise me greatly if for example they hadn't submitted new builds and had them rejected. For reasons that they are contractually obligated, on the threat of infinite legal action (of the kind that has Sony successfully claim copyright on an actor's face - the Butler commercial guy can apparently still not go within 10 feet of himself again without owing Sony reparations), to keep secret.

In the meantime, plan your future locked platform purchases accordingly. Or better yet, don't purchase products that are locked to a platform at all.

So if they were banned from the playstation store, how do you suppose they will patch the game?

When a company/corporation makes you famous, then you produce a commercial highlighting a competitors products...that's what got him sued.

No, they sued him because he softly mocked just how prissy Sony people are, and how comically arrogant their middle-managers behave. Then they proved that they're essentially 8 year old children with a lot of power they love to abuse. Because that was apparently the way to get Lambert to shut up.

Sony is a little bit different now than what they were in the run-up to the ps3, for example, and no one should think differently, customers or devs.

You should be mad at Sony.

This would explain the lack of patch support for other games, like Nuclear Throne.
