JUG on 14 January 2010
I understand what 1st party, 2nd party and 3rd party developers are, but there's a nebulous group that still confuses me. Those developers, like Hal and Game Freak, that (to quote Wikipedia) "develop games exclusively for Nintendo".
Is the relationship really as woolly as this? Is it just like a couple of friends having a tacit agreement, or is there a more substantial business relationship underlying this description?
What's the deal here?
