[casual_games] Call of Duty: Finest Hour - The Contract

[Brian Robbins]

There's a great article posted on Gamasutra a couple days ago:

http://gamasutra.com/features/20070112/spark_01.shtml

It features the full text of the contract between Spark and
Activision, and it has been annotated by 3 game industry lawyers.

While Call of Duty: Finest Hour with an $8.5 Million budget is much
larger than the projects anyone here is building, this provides great
insight into the general structure of game contracts, and the
discussion around the contract is applicable to the casual game
industry. It's a long read, but well worth it for anyone who is
involved in the contracting process of games.
