Distributors vs Publishers

Decoy · 2000-06-20T14:14:53

How much of the money a distributor collects from games being sold generally goes to the publishers? I''m working with a team that has had offers for a small game we did from both a publisher that uses a separate distributor and a company that does it''s own distribution. The deal from the publisher gives us a much higher percentage, but I don''t know if the total we''d get would be better since their distributor would take their cut before the publisher sees any. I don''t have any experience in the business like this so any info you have would be appreciated? Thanks.

We try to use these 2 companies as little as possible. Currently there are no products of ours being distributed through them. I agree with your opinion on not working with a company that has a bad track record, but this particular decision is not entirely mine in our company. Ingram and Merisel pay up after a long time. ASHD never pays up.

Take care,

I love the way Mr. Crystal Interactive CEO calls people with the Mr. in front. I love it so much, I'm gonna do it myself.
