2- Publishers/Developers:
Challenges &
Opportunities
Opportunities
• Publishing
– Revival for Back Catalogues : less obsolescence on the consumers targets
– Titles are long standing sellers : 2 to 3 years
– Accept to go for demo or trial versions
– Kids/casual gamers are less and less assigned by major PC/Consoles digital platforms
• Kids titles = opportunities
• Casual gaming – Now only MOBILE but can be assigned via family/female/kids cloud gaming TV packages
• New business models and extra money for Publishers
– “Subscription based” or packages Business model work good
– Quid for advertisement royalties in the future ??? Not started yet ?
– Access to Specific Telco’s billing helps a lot : SFR/Orange direct invoicing
– Provide easier access to “emerging” markets where consoles sales are week
Russia/China/Africa/LATAM
• Marketing opportunities for IP’s
– Having a strong franchise is a + on TV cloud gaming
– Integrate in your plans those new formats (ISP’s, OTT, Smart TV) help the overall of IP brand
awareness but negotiate marketing activities with your partners
– No piracy !!!
Challenges
• Publishing :
– IP and source codes ownerships issues
• Most of the time cloud gaming adaptations are not included in contracts with IP owners . Its’ New formats for IP owners, so they ask
for more money
• Don’t forget to include those formats in your contracts as you do with STEAM or PSN
– Developers and publishers are reluctant to provide source codes to non trusted or new business
platforms
• Technical issues
– Two major main formats can be adapted : Androids and PC - depends on technical specificities for each platforms
• But choose consoles lead formats titles to avoid difficulties for PAD adaptations
– Backward engineering is sometime difficult for Back catalogues
• Teams are working on other projects …
• Old sources codes with external engine not upgraded : Ie… UNITY 2 to Unity 5
– SDK integrations is not so simple - to cloud gaming industry => Stop to say “it’s a 5 mn job”
• For multi formats publishers (consoles/Mobile/PC) we have now zillions of SDK to integrate (platforms + billings) !!!!
• Marketing challenges
– For new releases and AAA titles : Publisher are reluctant to say OK
• Price positioning for consoles is around 50 to 70 euros …
– Difficulties to understand where goes our titles worldwide
• Beta/Master Candidate tests in end users conditions are difficult
• We don‘t have clear understandings on worldwide coverage and release plans .

Conclusion
The Cloud gaming market has now turned into a reality, driven by the
convergence of several factors:
– High-Speed Internet (ISP)
– Connected TV massive hardware installed bases (Telco STB, Smart TV and “3rd
Party” OTT)
– Reliable cloud-based technology (platforms & servers)
– Attractive content (game catalogue)
– Viable business model:
• Low cost entry for end-consumers and adoption of subscription-based
model by end-consumers
• Increasing revenue stream for publishers/developers
– Streaming has changed the way people consume media (e.g. Netflix, Spotify)
The future of video games is in the cloud!
The video game industry has not yet experienced its total
digital revolution vs. music and video. Game streaming is
definitely a massive trend in the industry that game content
providers need to embrace and see as a new opportunity to
make games as easy to access as music and movies, and
grow their audience.
THANK YOU!
