[IGDA_indies] TOW: Distribution Platforms

[Thomas H. Buscaglia]

Indie City looks like a potentially viable 
alternative.  I especially like thier open access 
model. Its success will, of course, depend on 
their ability to execute their plan....should be interesting to watch!

“There’s been this tradition in the [video-game] 
industry that everybody gets screwed on their 
first deal,  I'm doing my best to make sure that 
that becomes a historical anecdote instead of the way we do business.”
