Starbreeze AB: Starbreeze launches publishing business
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Starbreeze AB, one of Sweden's leading independent game developers, today
announced its first step into publishing with its Lion Game Lion agreement. In
the new business line, the company will bring its know-how in digital self-
publishing to game developers while allowing them to maintain IP and earn
royalty driven revenues.
"Having been a developer for more than two decades, we know what developers need
and what challenges they face. As a partner, we aim to create deals that benefit
both the developer and us. We're taking the classic "developer and publisher"
model and throwing it out the window. As your wingman, we will have your back
while you pilot your game to success," said Bo Andersson Klint, CEO of
Starbreeze Studios. "I see Starbreeze as a catalyst for talented developers and
digital publishing, particularly on Steam, where we are off to a flying start
with our PAYDAY-franchise. Simply put - we want to create more stars."
Traditional publishing agreements are typically work-for-hire, centered on the
publisher retaining control of the project, brand, marketing and royalties,
providing game developers little revenue from game sales.
Taking an opposite approach, Starbreeze aims at becoming a catalyst for the
developer's success. Projects will be selected and managed carefully and game
developers will be encouraged to retain part of the IP. By leveraging its know-
how in digital publishing, distribution partnerships and game marketing,
Starbreeze will drive sales and revenue over game life-span.
Starbreeze looks for the potential best partners and will give you the same. Any
aspiring stars should contact us at business(at)starbreeze.com
