Next Episode: Fast or slow, which is the best way to grow your studio?

Kicking off the remaining episodes of our second season of Inside Indie Games, we’re joined by a panel of industry experts from all walks of games development backgrounds as we delve into the world of M&As in the indie dev sector.

At the heart of discussion in this episode is the burning question for a lot of indie dev studios: should passionate games developers be Creative Directors or CEOs?

This episode highlights the tensions faced by indie games development founders across the creative vs business divide and asks if a change of ownership brings freedom or fear.

Our panel bring varying perspectives from the sector; from indie game developers, publishers, those who’ve been acquired already and those who’ve secured significant investment.
