What Publishers Want: Key Insights for Service Providers
summary
Publishers hire third-party teams for concrete tasks: QA, localization, age ratings, trailers, porting and platform launches, or full game development for hyper‑casual. Revenue models shift from license fees to profit‑share plus UA where publishers guarantee user acquisition; hyper‑casual prototypes run 1–2 week prototypes while mid/core deals become long term 3–5 year publishing partnerships. Common failures are mismatched expectations, buggy deliverables, poor communication and timezone lag; fixes are spelled-out specs, transparency, shared tooling and daily collaboration.
