Business - Rethinking Value Sharing, Financing, Risk and Control in a Fragmented Game Market (Rami Ismail)


As the industry tightens its risk assessments, understanding what risk is and how to mitigate your risk internally and towards external partners becomes a critical part of running a games studio. How does a studio communicate its opportunities, its values, and its mitigation strategies? And how can we steer the conversations funding parties are having when we’re not in the room?
