📌 Why: Financial mistakes can kill a studio before its first game launches. This question ensures developers consult investors, accountants, and publishers before making large financial commitments.
📌 Practical Use:
Before committing to self-publishing, a studio should ask:
➡ Have we spoken to publishers to compare revenue-sharing deals?
➡ Have we consulted investors on our burn rate and runway?
➡ What do successful studios say about managing cash flow in early development?
💡 Lesson: Seeking expert financial advice early prevents costly mistakes like over-hiring, underfunding, or overextending on unnecessary features.
