Talent Agents Discover Video Games Make Money
NYTimes.com recently posted an interesting article about the rise of talent agents in the video game industry. According to the Times, agents help independent or smaller studios land bigger and better contracts that will get their game’s published.
We know that studios like Ninja Theory (Heavenly Sword) and Ignition Entertainment (Muramasa: The Demon Blade), as well as individuals like Ken Levine (BioShock), and ex-Infinity Ward heads Jason West and Vince Zampella have already signed up with video game agencies like Ditto Creative Artists or Digital Development Management.
If the trend continues it looks like talent agents will become major players in the video game industry, just like they are in the movie and music business. If you’re interested in reading more on the topic, check out the full article here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
