I didn't mean publishing deal in the traditional way. I mean that Sony is giving JAW and the game extra exposure and who knows what else in return for an exclusive Playstation release and apparently exclusive Playstation content.
That's exposure, promotion and assistance they would not otherwise have had without Sony's help, thus no longer making it an independent title.
But mostly I'm just finding it frustrating to see that Oddworld of all IP's is jumping on the exclusive release platform, exclusive pre-order DLC bonus content bandwagon. It's insulting to the franchise and the fans if you ask me. I refuse to buy a 400 euro console just to play this game on day one. And in return not only do I have to wait an additional month, apparently I also stand to miss out on exclusive content.
When New 'n' Tasty was announced as an indie title I was relieved to know that this game wouldn't come with all this bullshit that is so common in the game industry these days. So excuse me for feeling slightly aggravated that it's still happening.

The content isn't exclusive at all - please see
my post in the other thread.
Your concerns are understood - but the content isn't exclusive to PlayStation platforms.
