Rumor: According to a developer, Sony plans to cut off the ability to add new PlayStation Vita titles to the PlayStation Store

Killzone Mercenary and Tearaway were the best games on the Vita. Sony is just desecrating its tombstone now.
Is there a reason why? I can't imagine it's that expensive, like the PS2 was getting games until 2013. Poor Vita, getting took round back and shot.
I was just looking at the ps store on my vita a few hours ago and thinking wow the banner has no more games on it and in the new releases tab I was surprised to see games still releasing recently.
Just allow me to play my vita games on a new hardware and all will be forgiven.

Maybe they are doing a PSN backend overhaul in prep for PS5 and not having to deal with Vita titles will make it easier?
I really hope we'll get to see this at some point
it would be a tragedy if that library was gone forever
My guess is a PSN overhaul is planned for next gen, and they don't want to waste resources on making all the changes apply to the old hardware as well.
Possible I suppose, makes more sense than them just setting a hard deadline for new releases because they wanna fully kill the system.
At this point in-house support has already got to be down to a skeleton crew providing minimal assistance. Why not engender some good will by allowing these few enthusiasts to peter out naturally? Maybe I'm overestimating interest, but it seems premature compared to PSP...
I also wonder if this cut-off date is worldwide. Has cartridge manufacturing stopped in Asian markets?

At this point I think they're doing it out of spite.
Weird way to type Soul Sacrifice Delta.
Haha.
Hell no..
It had support.
It also has legacy support too, tho.
Shiit.. I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't get straight diagonal movements with that d-pad. Hope I'm wrong tho, I plan on getting the yellow one.
PS2 Remakes don't count or else I'd have picked Odin Sphere: Leifth.. lefth... however you spell that.
Well, putting everything aside, the Vita really has stayed around far more than anyone insisting it's dead ever expected it to be
The market did the killing. If there was ever a pulse, Sony would have kept going, just as they did with PS VR. Plus, the system's library is huge, and played a role in the indie boom, while also providing a gateway for ports of less demanding AA releases, and of course various games from Japan. For a system that did as poorly commercially, the level of support - and longevity - it did receive was remarkable, and it wouldn't be fair to ignore Sony's role in that.
Mistakes were made, strategic and technical, but ultimately, the audience just wouldn't show.
Top of my list: should have called it the PSP 2 and carried whatever brand equity they had there.
You know what the Switch Lite and Vita have in common? Deceptive names. The Switch Lite doesn't switch and the Vita doesn't live.
At this point I have enough Vita games to last a lifetime. Do I wish it could've done better? Of course, but to me it'll always be the little handheld that could.
Video out: Switch lite copies PS Vita's inability to output video.
Math checks out.
The best Vita supporter on this site speaks the truth.
It is due to the certification process.
It must be costing more money for Sony to house new Vita games on their digital store servers vs people actually buying those said games. Not surprised they're doing this
The like 15 ERA users who still play on their Vita don't bring in enough money for Sony to continue support when said resources are much better spent on the PS5.

Of course it is. Last time I checked: both of them lacked Sony's support.
