In order to streamline its approval process, Sony decided to ban PSPgo Mini Games from utilizing wirless multiplayer, offering downloadable content, getting software updates, or exceeding 100 Mega Bytes in size.
"When you look at it from a testing perspective, you have to do more QA. [Allowing those features] would defeat the purpose of having a dedicated service for smaller content," Sony Computer Entertainment America senior account manager Justin Cooney said.
"It increases the barriers."
PSPgo Mini Games are allowed to have "local multiplayer" where players take turns by swapping the handheld back and forth.
