Dan Paladin Basically Rules

By: Derek Yu

On: June 19th, 2007

Good ol’ Dan Paladin sez: "Online, the sky is the limit, that’s what so exciting as an independent. That just sounds so much more appealing than a publishing deal; they’re a big mess. I would like to see the traditional publishing deal change. I would like to see publisher act more as distributors than publishers.

All developers will tell you the same thing – a publisher has taken away something of theirs that they felt really needed to be there, or they changed something in a way they didn’t agree with because they own the money and the IP. That’s why we risk everything up front, so we can take it in and it’s all there; we trust our own judgement." (Link)

Kotaku seems more indie-friendly than Joystiq lately.
