Lecturer (2nd): W. Joseph Price, Kelley Drye Collier Shannon
Security is a growing issue in the gaming industry and is of particular concern for games from Third Party developers. Game security incidents have grown into a costly problem. Whether it is the compromise of the game code during development or the customer support costs associated with game exploits, security failures can delay product launches or add unexpected millions to customer support costs. These problems are exacerbated by the nature of third party relationships in the game industry. This presentation will address the business, technical, and legal issues associated with third party game development and licensing.
Intended Audience: Publishers, developers, game licensors
Prerequisites: No specific experience required – general knowledge of the game industry helpful, but not necessary.
