Trends in mobile game publishing
summary
Publishers describe themselves as partners who fund production, run LiveOps, and co-develop rather than just market: they value lean teams that iterate fast, want a working prototype that everyone in the office plays, and prefer clear elevator pitches over 400‑page decks. Deals vary by risk and IP—publishers sometimes push for a 50-50 profit share ideal but often fund multi‑million dollar IP buys and expect recoupment; regional splits exist but many seek global rights to reach scale. Beware unrealistic retention or milestone thresholds in offers.
