    If I had a dollar for each time a publisher fucked a good game I would still not make as much as these companys that "need" micro transactions to make money

    Tim Murphy they don't ruin good games, they just add bullshit stuff to them. Shadow of War. Looks good, right? They added micro transactions. That doesn't take away from the quality of the game, it just adds something people don't like. It's shitty but it doesn't ruin games.

    Microtransactions keep games at $60 buddy. From inflation alone games should be $102. Factor in the larger budgets and increased demand they should be far higher. And no you children, increased demand does not lower prices. You will learn supply and demand in high school. Would you rather pay tons of extra money for content you probably don't even want?

    I'm pretty sure Rockstar wouldn't *need* a publisher, but business-wise, having a publisher does help out with marketing and resources. The publisher's job is to ensure the best investment/earnings ratio for a game. Without a publisher, Rockstar loses access to the publisher's resources, so going independent would mean having to skimp on at least some features in the game, or marketing (marketing also including everything that is designed to make the customer feel like part of the community.) Basically, money attracts money. It's easier to turn 1.000$ into 10.000$ than it is to turn 10$ into a 100$, even more so with digital media that can be copied with negligible resource costs.

Much like hiring "temps". It's just too convenient to pass up.

    For the same reason they all do. Marketing, demographics research, management and assessment. They basically will keep them straight in order they would want to deviate towards a route that will stop the development due to lack of funds or ideas. It really sounds bad when you want to impede the creative process of an artist, but sometimes it's necessary, or they'll never finish anything.

    You want that big budget AAA game? Then you're a slave to publishers. It's hard to accept, but that's how it is. Only very few devs have the money to self-publish a AAA game. Gamer demand for better graphics and bigger worlds is what's forcing developers into the arms of publishers. It's an ironic circle.

    The biggest problem I have with the current state of video games is the fact that publishers own franchises. This means that when the subject of a sequel gets to the table, it's the not the publishers that are replaceable, it's the developers. If that one thing were changed, we'd see publishers get better through market forces. Unfortunately, that's not the case, so franchises are tied to publishers, creating a love/hate feeling for products (games) in the minds of consumers.

    Oh, I see. I guess just because third party distributors (GameStop, etc.) typically want to get rid of unsold stock so they lower the price until the demand meets it. In a digital marketplace there is no 'stock' until the game is purchased, so the retailer doesn't feel the same obligation to sell everything they have. EDIT: What Jonathon said about not undercutting Real Stores is probably true as well.

    Few reasons i can give: 1) Is to help Indies, and other video game developer to publish a game. Sometimes, being an Indie and publishing a game is not enough to distribute a game, and may cost a big lost, if Indies handle it by themselves. 2) To help developers and Indies, advertise their games. Without it, we wont even know about FIFA, Titanfall, Hellblade or even Half Life 3) To earn 50%-70% of profit from developers, that's what a purpose of publishing is about, doesn't matter if they have ridicules schemes like DLCs &, Microtransactions.. but without it, Publishers can go bankrupt, 4) Not all triple AAA publishers are bad, sometimes they do bring good games, and sometimes they do have bad business practices, but we all also have to realized that, cost of living nowadays is getting high, some people are struggling to get the best earnings to survive

    Very well said. It´s a shame that alot of otherwise great games get ruined by publishers. I don´t really mind extra content(DLC) as long as there plenty of effort put into it, as long as it´s not too expensive and "forced" upon me but most importantly as long as the end product doesn´t get affected in a negative way( like cutting parts of the game etc) just to put it into the DLC.

    The parallels between the games industry and the music industry are astounding. So many great bands opt for DIY now, much like indie devs. Loads of great albums (indie games) come out all the time, but unless you've heard of them from a friend of a friend, they'll likely pass under your radar. More money just makes things noticeable (top 40 music/AAA games); doesn't make them better.

    I'm a QA for War for the Overworld, their first title. And yes it is necessery to have a publisher, because who else does the marketing for you, the game is still unmarketed and very few people knowes about it. Further to, they are working on a new Project and they need a publisher, because they need the money to continue working on Games. So yes, it is necessery to have a publisher, because developers (at least Brightrock Dev's) want to put as much resources in their game, to make it as good as possible, and then they would need something like Marketing in mind, which costs a lot of money, which they could spend into the game to make it better.

    I love these more in-depth videos. There is quite a lot of the games industry that I do not know, and this is really informative. I do not want to criticise publishers, because, let's be fair, without these publishers a lot of games will not be made. They offer the money to make these games, and they want a return on their investment. They have done the market research and they see trends that are successful for business, so they may urge if not force developers to implement these trends. To say that publishers are the reason for bad trends in games is, I believe, unfair. They watch the market, they see what generates money, so it is understandable if they want to do the same. Sometimes it is at the cost of the quality of the core game, but remember, were it not for the publisher in the first place, that game may not have been made at all.
