It was a tweet from Koch Media France that put us in our ears yesterday. The info is confirmed by Giants Software on the Official website. The German developer is surrounded by around twenty distributors for the marketing of the future Farming Simulator. The French publisher Focus had been excluded last year on this next opus, but Astragon, which notably manages Germany, remains in the race.
“A global network of business partners within the company's self-publishing framework”. It is in these terms that Giants Software announces the creation of its own distribution channel, "From the company's headquarters in Switzerland, via Singapore and Australia to North and South America". As a publisher, GIANTS Software will now publish its products and drive the global positioning and brand communication of all partners.
Together with many partners around the world, the developer and publisher of Farming Simulator will extend its reach by overseeing a tight-knit network of partners to distribute and promote future titles of the popular farming game series in a targeted manner with fans around the world. .
"We've come a long way since we started our self-publishing business last year.", comments Boris Stefan, Publishing Manager at GIANTS Software. By building a global network of partners, GIANTS Software is not only increasing its reach, but also its independence as a game developer that has evolved into a stand-alone publisher. Twenty-two partners have already been listed to support this adventure - with an ever increasing number:
- ARAL
- astragon entertainment
- The price
- Colby, ComputerLand Group Company
- Digitalbros
- Ecoplay
- Enarxis
- ERC
- Five star games
- Gamesplanet (Metaboli SA)
- Koch Media
- MOVE
- Netzah Game
- PAN Vision
- Play art
- Playman
- Simactive Distribution
- SoftSource
- 2 GO solutions
- Thali AG
- U&I Entertainment

With this global network of partners and its own publishing team, GIANTS Software will expand its publishing activities in the future and publish products from other developers.
