Developers
There are so many game developers, large and small,
that it would be unhelpful to list them all. In general,
there are three types of developers: independent
studios, wholly owned studios, and partially owned
studios. Most developers start out small. Many
times, it is a group of friends who have either worked
together in the past or perhaps have gone to school
together. Like starting a band, starting a development
studio is a usually a labor of love.
Many start-up developers never make it past the
concept stage. Perhaps they build a demo and shop it
around. Only a few very lucky teams actually sign a deal
to produce a game. And even fewer wind up producing
a hit. Being a game developer is a very risky business.
The Business of Game Publishing
title for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 will cost from
$13 million to $30 million to produce. However, the
launch price for console titles over the same time
period has remained steady at about $50. With the
cost of development for each title going up and the
price of each title remaining static, game publishers
have been forced to adopt a ???fewer, bigger, be er???
strategy.
