"The format of publisher-developer cooperation is outdated": interview with Ilya Karpinsky about MRGV

At the end of April, MRGV turned three years old. We decided that this was a great opportunity to talk to its managing director Ilya Karpinsky about the relationship between developers and publishers.

Among the topics covered:

• why do big publishers seek to buy their developer partners;
• how can a publisher avoid the trap of a limited portfolio of hits;
• why is fritupley harder to make than premium;
• why it’s not worth following trends in the gaming market.
