I think it would be cool if you can be a publisher and bully the developers
I would like an option to publish other games. You could set the percentage of how much they would make. Of course, there would have to be a minimum. If not, it would easily be abused.
Thanks for the ideas
Becoming a publisher would involve spending a lot of money. You’d have to sink millions into advertising a game over which you had minimal creative control, no assurance whatsoever of quality, and being produced by a relatively unknown dev house.
Not that it couldn’t tend to be profitable anyways, just keep in mind that this is a game feature that I would expect to involve sinking a good chunk of change into for every game I sought to publish. I wouldn’t expect it to be possible until late enough in the game that you’re running your own conventions, and I wouldn’t necessarily expect it to be profitable and smart the very instant the option opens up.
I thought that was pretty obvious. Publishing would be a good feature once you’re late in the game. I mean, I made it to year 175 before quitting. I had more than enough fans and money to start publishing other games.
