Drop Site Updates



I am facing some decisions about Drop Site.

Studio Giochi, the game's agent, is looking for distributors in Europe who would like to buy the game, and there may be several who are interested.

That means, I wouldn't get to have all of the 1,000 copies, but I would still make a profit on the games that are distributed.

I'd like to have all 1,000, but I might choose to leave 500 over seas to tap a market I will not otherwise be able easily access.

An alternative would be to print additional copies for $$$. The printer has given me an estimate on 500 and 1,000 additional copies, but there is no guarantee that these games would be purchased by a distributor and I can guarantee you that the price to print these extra games is not cheap!

So what is the best choice?

Of course, if Studio Giochi can't find an interested distributor for the free 1,000 copies then it makes no sense to print any additional copies or leave any copies in Europe. If distributors are interested, however...well, stop back by the blog later for that decision.
