With the Smartphone (platform) continuing to chip-away at the (once-dominant) Game Console space, Sony announced today that they are eliminating their $99.00 Developer Fee. Whether this will help the ailing firm turn their fortunes around is yet to be determined. However, it could also pressure other vendors to follow suit (which might be a longer-term boon for all parties involved: game developers / platform vendors and consumers).
