The latest of our Playable Futures series tackles the industry's foundational duo - publisher and developer - and looks at what the future holds for publishing in a sector in which the rate of change is rapid and accelerating. It's also one in which the balance between community, audience, developer and publisher has shifted irrevocably.
For Episode Five, presenter Will Freeman speaks to Jean-Paul Hardy, general manager of Gearbox Amsterdam, and Thomas Hegarty, founder and director of Roll7. Veterans of the publisher/developer relationship, the duo draw on their many years of experience in publishing and developing video games and take a long view on what is in store for the future.
