Abstract

In the last two decades video games have grown into a multibillion dollar industry, with titles and franchises that rival the film industry in terms of revenues. Ricard Gil takes a close look at how producing a game in-house, rather than via a developer, can increase games’ consumer performance. He argues that this stems from such ‘integrated’ games being perceived as being higher quality, and being distributed more strategically.
