Where movie studios stand regarding licensing rights, video game publishing |
Ó
These days, it isn't just the "pure" video game publishers that publish video games; movie studios are also in on the business. Thing is, depending on the studio, some may opt to have a sister company do the work instead of going the direct route. Here's short summary of how the various movie studios stand with regard to licensing and video game publishing:
- Disney: Walt Disney Studios lets its sister Disney Interactive Studios (DIS) publish a lot of family-oriented games. DIS also publishes other games that aren't based on Disney titles.
- Fox: This one licenses its properties to video game publishers.
- Lionsgate: Licenses its properties to video game publishers.
- MGM: This studio also licenses its properties to publishers.
- Paramount: While the studio has traditionally licensed out all its properties, it's also starting to get into video game publishing itself.
- Sony Pictures: Its corporate sibling, Sony Computer Entertainment, is maker of the PlayStation consoles and the games for those consoles. Sony Pictures licenses out its properties to various different videogame publishers.
- Universal: This one also licenses out all its properties to video game publishers.
- Warner Bros.: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) owns developer Monolith. It oversees licensing to other publishers for some Warner. Bros properties that it doesn't handle. Warner also owns a 10% stake in Eidos.
