The modern days publishers, building a unique developer/publisher relationship
summary
Four publishers compare how they actually fund and ship games: milestone deals still exist but most contracts are negotiable case by case, Kowloon reports over 30 investments and publishers urge developers to approach early with a prototype that shows why it’s different. Platform money often comes with exclusivity that can cripple later upside; several panelists cite real projects tied into bad platform deals. Practical extras offered: QA, usability, production help, localization (and localize for Asia), marketing contacts and regional know‑how.
