The Russian marketing company Weloveplayers is taking a major step forward by evolving into a full-fledged game publisher. Previously focused on advertising and promoting big foreign games like Dying Light 2 Stay Human and Remnant: From the Ashes, they are now venturing into direct game releases worldwide. The newly established publisher is committed to prioritizing the funding of high-quality domestic indie games.
As stated in their press release, Weloveplayers has set its sights on the global market. Their role as a publisher will involve promoting and releasing games not only in Russia and the CIS countries but also in China and Europe. Despite the fierce competition in the global market, they remain confident in the potential success of indie projects and firmly oppose exploitative donation mechanics.
We stand against exploitative donation practices! It is crucial to us that Russian game development stands out with unique standalone projects that do not rely on money-sucking mechanics. At Weloveplayers, we believe that small indie games have the potential to generate sufficient income for the growth of domestic game studios, publishers, and the industry as a whole.
– as stated by Weloveplayers.
The new publisher pledges to provide support to developers, addressing marketing, production, and financial concerns. Stay tuned for updates on Weloveplayers’ first games, as the publisher is already hard at work on two unannounced titles.
