Lionhead boss Peter Molyneux has called for a major rethink of the way game development contracts are negotiated, describing the current system as being "completely flawed" for independent studios.
Speaking at the London Games Summit yesterday, Molyneux criticised the current system, where studios are unable to accurately predict how a development process will flow but are nonetheless required to agree a series of milestone deadlines.
He also warned independents not to get pulled into the "spiral of doom" - signing a new project in order to get funding for an unfinished game, and repeating this exercise until the studio goes out of business.
