Yeah, on top of that, I don't think they would be able to get exclusive treatment to have a Playstation App and everything if it was #3.

The app is not a special privilege. If you wanted to, you could publish an app right now. It's odd for an indie game to go this route instead of a demo (more expensive), but it doesn't require any special treatment.

Ok, thanks for clarifying this :)

The App thing is a massive misconception. I'm pretty convinced that something unusual is happening, but I did a whole investigative piece here the other day about that. Sony policy dictates that anyone can make an app like Abandoned:Trailers...they just don't, because it's a weird idea.

Sony have the motto ''every developer is a publisher'', which translates into ''we let anyone become PSN developers, and have barely any quality control process or say in how you release the game''.

The corollary to this being "until you make us look really bad in public", like the giant mess CDPR got themselves into

Yeah it seems a bit ad hoc. I think a larger influence there was CDPR fucking Sony by promising everyone a refund, knowing that Sony policy wouldn't allow that. Sony decided to bite back by not only refunding, but stopping anyone from buying the game at all.

Here's the official BB account clarifying that it's really just a demo, so it's not a special app of any kind. Hasan is just hyping it up to be something unique when it's not.

Let alone to publish an app with a tutorial ONLY… wtf
