[casual_games] What to expect from a publisher

[John Tan]

Hi Miguel,

 

My opinion on why the developers would do so is for marketing and branding.

Hello all,

 

it's been very informative to read up on all the insightful email exchange
since this SIG has been started.

 

Now, I have a question of my own.

I see an increased number of games being distributed by publishers such as
GameHouse, iwin or PlayFirst.

What would be the three main reasons/benefits (excluding the obvious one:
cash) for a developer to go with a publisher instead of taking his/her game
to the major portals directly?

 

Have a Happy 2006.

 

Best regards / Beste Grüsse,
