once you have the amount you need to self publish medium you can pretty much self publish large or just publish a few more mediums then go to large never did any contracts for large games myself. as long as your not low on money as long as you get a 5+ rating your still gaining fans and your just keep making more money. if you find yourself low on money just go back to medium make a game your know will get 8+ and then go back to making large.

To self publish it suggests 500k for large and 1M for AAA I think. However all my self published games have been successful including large games when I had 100k fans. I don't see it has alot of impact upon the profit of a good game. :fishing:

The only point to using a publisher for games is to generate more fans and you only generete more fans using a publisher compared to self-published if you are below the target mark.

The marks are 100k for medium, 250k for large and 1M for AAA.

Even a 15% royalty contract will generate less money using a publisher compared to self-publishing unless you are very far off the mark in terms of fans, like releasing a AAA with only 250k fans.

To simply unlock large games, you need around 140k fans. I unlocked large games in the PS1 era! :D

I'd forgotten about this, and I'm not sure if I'm more disappointed in you or my past self.

Must be due to not hiring more staff. You need more than 3.
