Under The New Licensing Agreement...

by Michael Hense · in General Discussion · 09/08/2002 (9:52 am) · 5 replies

... if you are under the 500K revenue cap, is it permissable to have your game published by an outside company, say Electronic Arts or Sierra?

All I see so far is the term 'self published'... does that mean that one would be limited to publishing his/her game him/herself, or would it be ok to get an outside publisher.


Thanks

No. If your company or the publisher are over $500K, you must use teh commercial license.

Then how does that effect games published by GarageGames?!? Or is that covered by the 'any other' bit of 3. b)?

So I could publish through GG for only $100 per license, right? So once i've made (positive mental attitude ;) ) $500,000 I owe you $10,000.

Or since GG inevitably will be a publisher with revenue over $500,000 (if it isn't already), do I now need to find $10,000?!?

Not being an accountant (thank god), is revenue profit (net) or turnover (gross)?

Is it possible to do self-publishing AND publishing over the GarageGames' player site?

OK... Thanks.

One more quick, semi related question Jeff (or anyone in the know)...

Any final statements ready on publishing of non Torque Games by GG?

We will publish games made by any engine. Remember, two of our three launch titles are created with non-Torque engines.
