Indie Game Dev: Should You Pick a Publisher or Get Funding?
When you're building a game, choosing between a publisher and independent funding is one of the biggest decisions you'll face. In this episode of the Player Driven podcast, Ben Kvalo from Midwest Games break down everything a publisher can actually offer, from marketing and QA to localization, release management, porting, and business development. You’ll hear how a good publisher becomes more than a vendor, they become your extended team, helping you focus on development while they manage everything else. If you're wondering what you’re really getting into when signing with a publisher, or what you’re giving up by going solo, this breakdown is for you. 🎙 From the Player Driven podcast 📩 Interested in consulting, launch planning, or building out your go to market strategy? www.playerdriven.io #IndieGameDev #GamePublishing #GameDev #PlayerDriven #GameMarketing #SteamGames #GoToMarket #GamingIndustry
