Publishers continue to blame SCEE for missing European PSN releases

Publishers continue to blame SCEE for missing European PSN releases


Cash Guns ChaosCuboidLumines SupernovaPenny Arcade Adventures: Episode One and TwoPowerUp ForeverSOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs ConfrontationSuper Street Fighter II Turbo HD RemixSupersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars This is the list of games that are available on the US PlayStation Store, and not on the European Store. Many of our readers have been asking "why?"

Publishers are blaming Sony Computer Entertainment Europe for the delays. The Stores are still operated independently in each region, and SCEE has been strangely slow on releasing these titles. "Sony's process for getting titles on PSN varies in North America, Europe, Japan and the rest of Asia", said Joel De Young, COO of Hothead Games.

SCEE's response to BritishGaming.co.uk doesn't really inspire confidence. "This has been an ongoing issue and we're doing our best to resolve it." Wouldn't releasing these games be the best way to resolve these delays?
