Money Talks - Publishing and Investment
summary
Panelists map concrete options: about 200 publishers exist from service-for-revenue indies to major funders, roughly 30 VCs now focus on games, and one fund has backed 40 companies; publishers typically finance projects and supply QA/localization/marketing while equity investors buy company shares and push aggressive growth. Practical advice: get a games-experienced lawyer, meet the producers not just bizdev, insist on governance and harassment reporting, and do reference checks on prior partners. China/mobile access is costly and slow; NFTs draw caution rather than clear use cases.
