[Consulting] Game publishing contract review

Game development company A requested Veat to review the English publishing contract to conclude a publishing contract with a publisher in China. Veat has reviewed a very diverse range of publishing contracts, including mobile, PC, and console platforms, publishers from various regions such as China, Japan, and the United States, and various genres. Based on this experience, Veat focused on reviewing the copyright and ownership of game data, license grant conditions, profit sharing, and termination conditions, which are the areas where the interests of game developers and game publishers are most sharply opposed.

In this process, Veat identified terms that were disadvantageous to the game developer but favorable to the game publisher, and suggested that they needed to be revised for the long-term relationship between the developer and the publisher. Company A adjusted the detailed contractual terms according to Veat’s review, and as a result, a publishing contract that satisfied both the developer and the publisher was concluded.

Thank you.
