The new episode of The GamesIndustry.biz Microcast is now available, giving you a quick dive into the biggest news from the event date.
On this date, we consider Devolver’s introduction of Fat Fan Games, an unused imprint dedicated to indies running on legal IPs and established alternatives, as a starting point to talk about the game diversification market. With varying scope and characteristics, over time there have been examples that licensed video games do not always make money in the way publishers expect; We talked about the numerous reasons behind this and the potential for indies to get the opportunity to work on the main IP.
Other headlines we mention are Epic Games’ new lawsuit against Google, the closure of Play Games Copy, the death of HoloLens and the arrival of Palworld on mobile. At the end, in ‘What Do Ruthless Numbers Do?’, Chris appears in the first performance of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Knowledge.
