Would You Pay For Release Work?  by ps3iso on September 19, 2012
After wandering around the web I came across a post that
mentioned a website that is trying to raise money to have a
developer port Android to the PlayStation Vita and posed

Kickstarter.com that would allow people to raise money for
homebrew projects?  The reason obviously is that they tend to
take a large amount of time develop in most cases.  Currently
the way the homebrew community works is based on the developers
simply working away in their spare time and basically giving
away the fruits of their labor to the community. There are some
developers out there who have tried to raise money for their
work like SKFU and his request for donations to buy a
PlayStation Vita Dev kit.  I’m not sure a pay for release system
would work in the long run.  Maybe for something like a PS3
exploit that would render the same level of ease for developers
and users to use and develop homebrew for the PS3 but
