An indie asking for $250,000 is 'a drop in the bucket' says Tunic's publisher, but indies are in a 'survival' era because companies think that 'isn't profitable enough' to fund
Finji CEO Rebekah Saltsman describes the current era for indie games as 'survival,' stating that companies are hesitant to fund projects that aren't highly profitable. She argues that this focus on massive returns overlooks mid-tier games that could significantly impact the industry and change developers' lives. Saltsman emphasizes the publisher's goal of ensuring developers can make enough profit to create future games.
