PixelJunk series developer Q-Games claims that the downtime is starting to cost it money.

"PSN being out definitely affects our bottom line," boss Dylan Cuthbert told IndustryGamers, "but as long as the people who were going to be playing Shooter 2 and other PixelJunk titles will get right back in there playing them when it comes back up we'll be happy and hopefully income won't be dented too much."


Cuthbert went on to say that he knows as much about the outage as users do at this point.

"Sony has contacted us to let us know they are working as hard as they can 24 hours a day to fully correct and secure the breach," he explained. "Apart from that we don't know any other information. Fingers crossed they'll get it up and running very soon."


Q-Games' most recent release, PixelJunk Shooter 2 launched on PlayStation Network last month. Q-Games had planned to release some DLC over the Easter weekend but the outage put a damper on those plans.

Heres A few other Dev's severely hurt by the outage,
Zipper Interactive - SOCOM 4
Valve Entertainment - Steam and Portal 2
Nether Realm Studio's - Mortal Kombat
