Developers: Express Your Opinions on Grey Market Practices

29 Jul 2016

The IGDA has partnered with Startselect (a digital game retailer in Europe) to map out the grey market of game codes. This research consists of several layers, including the legal aspects. However, since this is also an issue directly affecting developers, we need your help!

We’re looking for statements from developers about the grey market, including testimonials and anecdotes (how has it or is it affecting you?), ideas for solutions to the current situation, and any data you’d like to share on grey market practices.

Please take this quick survey to anonymously provide us with your opinions and stories. With your feedback we can educate the game industry about the current grey market situation. Thank you in advance for your participation!
