[casual_games] Insurance companies for casual game developers

[Austin Haas]

Thanks, Walter. I actually filed an application with Techinsurance but my request was denied because their carrier does not insure game developers.

Their exact reply:

Thank you for contacting Techinsurance.com.  Unfortunately our insurance carrier will not permit us to offer Liability Coverage to firms engaged in the services indicated in your
application:  (DECLINED:  Unfortunately, game development is an ineligible classification for your program.).  Therefore we will not be able to provide the insurance quote you
requested.
