Are you an indie game developer, marketer, game entrepreneur or game studio leader contemplating or evaluating self-publishing your game and/or are actively self-publishing? Join our experts in this 2025 highlight session to get inspired and gain new insights on how to do it successfully!
With the sober reality that only a fraction of games that are pitched to publishers actually get signed, this panel will discuss the logic and justification for self-publishing. The session will explore the various pieces that are needed to make self-publishing work, examine how the landscape is evolving to enable more self-publishing to happen successfully, and include info on new sources of funding and services available to support self-publishing efforts.
