Hooded Horse CEO Tim Bender says most indie publishers are bad news. That might seem like a weird thing for the boss of the indie publisher supporting strategy hits like Against the Storm and Manor Lords to say, but he suggests indie devs should be very, very careful about who they choose to partner with.
“People can hate me for this if they want,” Bender tells our friends at PC Gamer, “but most indie publishers are not people indie developers should work with. The vast majority of indie publishers, in their whole structure, are predatory and opportunistic.”
The bad publishers, Bender argues, are “looking to sign a bunch of games, to invest in the ones that are otherwise successful, make them bigger, ignore and drop – basically abandon – the ones that aren’t, while sucking up whatever they can through recoup. They’re not particularly competent either, most indie publishers; they don’t add a lot.”
