Publisher Deals

Gamasutra is running a great feature today on deal negotiation with game publishers:

  • Game Law: So, What’s the Dealio? (www.gamasutra.com) – “In his latest Game Law column for Gamasutra, veteran lawyer Buscaglia discusses how developers should work with publishers on a contract for your game – urging active, intelligent negotiation at all times.”

The article is intresting because it’s written for game developers. He looks at the commonly held beliefs about why developers get bad deals and breaks down each one into how the developer should handle it. It’s a neat read, and hopefully one that will help me someday when I’ve got a game to sell.
