Games Studios/Publishers27 Aug 2020 12:17
I thought I would comment alfred12 under publishers as that has been what has held Bids back.
I think the board have hit a number of roadblocks in this project. Just simply been a longer and more difficult road than they envisaged and that happens.
Clear to me, that the team has engaged with many publishers and game studios and progress has been made. Solid progress.
My view is that NO formal contracts have been signed with the studios that Bids are (in test) delivering adverts outside of Cody's and SI. That brings some risk, as contracts may not be signed of course.
BUT, Bids are delivering in a number of games (in test) and there has been success and success is what is required for contracts to get signed.
Studios named where Bids have been seen to deliver ads are plentiful:-
- Flying Squirrel
- EA
- UBI possibly
- Inlogic
- Smash Mountain
I am sure there are a number of other studios close to agreeing to testing.... The opportunity is simply too large to say no.
All that said, no game publisher will sign contracts until the testing is proven and seen to be valuable.
VW and that press release of two weeks ago showed the value...
We shall see. I expect positive news by end of the year.
