News that the PlayStation Store was going offline for the PS3, PSP, and PlayStation Vita caught us by surprise, one game developer was in a more difficult situation, with its in-development Vita game affected by the announcement. Now, the game is canceled, and the developer said it was not told in advance about the closure.
Speaking to IGN, Lillymo Games founder Barry Johnson said it didn't receive any notice from Sony about the Vita store's planned closure prior to the public news. Because of this, its next, unannounced game will have its Vita version canceled, and the studio's requests for information from Sony were met with silence.
The PS Vita was discontinued in 2019
Others, like Miguel Sternberg at Spooky Squid games, are still rushing to get their games out prior to game submissions being closed. Lightwood Games developer Katherine Gordon even offered her studio's assistance in order to bug-test the game so it can release before the deadline.
