Description

Indies and Publishers: Fixing a System That Never Worked
Speaker/s: Ron Carmel (2D Boy)
Day / Time / Location: Tuesday 10:00-10:30 Room 135, North Hall
Track / Format: Independent Games Summit / Lecture
Description: The typical relationship between a development studio and a publisher/distributor these days is an adversarial one. It is approached, from both sides, with an attitude of untamed self-interest and a sense of entitlement. From this approach the industry has developed unhealthy and inefficient practices that work against developers and recently against publishers as well. In this presentation, Ron Carmel, Co-Founder of 2D BOY and co-creator of WORLD OF GOO, will discuss the problems with the current model (a tenant farming ecosystem build upon a weak security model), contrast how Valve and Microsoft deal with developers, and propose that creating more transparency in the game industry will give rise to a healthy model for developers and publishers/distributors to work together.
