The publishing model most indie devs face is outdated and often stacked against them. Rigid contracts, hidden expectations, and a lack of real partnership force devs to choose between full independence or giving up too much. But thankfully, a new approach is emerging.

We unpack the rise of shadow publishing, the value of regional talent, and what meaningful support really looks like in today’s industry. Episode Shownotes Link:
