Template business model and Indie games

The tentpole business is the the big blockbuster games that are released by the big copmpanies because they know people will buy it whatever its like when it comes out. These tentpole games normally bring in the massive money so the business can spend it on making new and risky games. Grand Theft Auto, Fifa, Call of Duty, etc are examples of games that are hollywood blockbusters and that will bring in the money. Hollywood model is where parts of the game are contracted out to other people to create the perfect model they want. Big companies like rockstar games, ubisoft, etc send parts of the game out to differnt people to make it the best it cxan be but this comes with a cost as it is very exspensive to do this. Indie games (Independent games) are games made by people like us who want to make a game. This is also expensive for the people to create and put this game on marketplaces as it costs money to make the game and for the software to be downloaded for a certain console.
