- 2. Publisher – Developer • Given the long-term nature of the relationship between the developer and publisher in F2P scene, both parties need to ask the right questions: Publisher Can I give this project the resources it requires to be a successful title? Developer Will I be able to support this publisher equally? Or will I be spread “too thin”?

Goal • The goal of this session is to give you some information to better understand the business between a publisher and a developer and how to reach successful cooperation. • Generally speaking, developers tend to focus on how much money they can get • Before reaching that point both sides have to consider many factors. • Hint: $$$ should be last thing to consider Developer Publisher LF Will Get: XXXX$ USD LF Will Pay: XXXX$ USD MG Will Get: XXXX$ USD MG Will Pay: XXXX$ USD Rev Share: XX % Rev Share: XX %

Publisher Concerns • Are they good developers (reputation) • What's their technical expertise • How much support can they provide (updates, features and bug fixing) • Did they develop successful titles before • How many publishers licensed this game or other games. • What are the games KPIs certain KPIs could be a great indicator of the game performance, and hence its compatibility with other regions Example: Three kingdoms game changed theme and introduced to western market as fantasy.
