can somebody explain to me the difference between first party and second party? |
First Party - Completely owned by the platform holder
Second Party - Usually a third party studio who has been contracted by the platform holder to work on a license owned by the platform holder
Third Party - A game developed by an outside company based on their own original intellectual property
|
so second party developers can stop making exclusives for a platform, but they dont own the IP.
|
Let me use an example of each.
First Party, Naughty Dog and Uncharted. Sony owns both Uncharted and Naughty Dog.
Second Party. Quantic Dreams and Beyond: Two Souls. Sony Owns Beyond but they do not own Quantic Dreams. They just made a deal with them to make Beyond.
Third Party. Rock Star and Red Dead Redemption. It is owned by Rockstar and not MSFT, Nintendo, or Sony
|
thanks, i thought that second party games are games developed by a company that for example, sony owns a part of a company, like 30% of their stock, and that company made a game for sony.
