We are a publisher.

So you are a game creator? Well first of all let me say well done for getting this far, we know how hard it is to code games! However you may by now thinking that you will kill someone if you game don't sell, after all you spent months working on it! So what can we do for you? Well we don't just publish the game we do: Web site Creation: We will make your game a web site, unique for your game Buy domain and hosting: It is alright having a game site but what about the other costs? We pay! Market your game: Yes we pay for Marketing, be it Google Adsense or short radio adverts. Sell your game: No need to get the customer buying your game, we do that Provide you with stats: We provide you with the information you need, such as how many copies you sold. Send you the money: We can send you your profit via Cheque, Paypal, or a number of other ways. Handle help desk: No need to waste time in between making games, we handle customers problems. Bug fixing: If you provide us with source code we will even fix bugs. We can also fix 3D Game Studio bugs. We care: We are not EA! Your important, in fact your so important if you want you can come to our HQ We are always here: No need to wait days while we have meetings about your game, we decide live! We get your game in the shops: Yeap that is right, we don't sell only only the internet we also contact companys such as Game and EB. So what do we expect from you? Not a lot A splash image of our logo each time your game starts. This is not some long dull video just a image! A small cut of the profits, very small compared to other company's. We expect 15%, sometimes less. Legal. We need to make sure your game is legal and you should not hide features without telling us. What games do we publish? If it is fun to play we will publish it. After all games are not about who can make the water look real, they are about getting that wow factor. You can send us games made with editors such as the amazing 3D Game Studio, or even the free Game Creator! If you like your game then we will, after all the creator is always harsh on his own creation! Post on this topic or PM me if you want more infomation.

The above, bschneid, raises two more important questions:

- What previous experience has your team had in advertising/PR/media?
- What qualifications does your team have in the same?

EDIT: http://www.puresystems.co.uk/ - is this your site? (looks nice - although incomplete)

Get a good copy writer, fast. If you have experience in marketing then you should understand the power of good copy. You can be excellent web and print designers without an understanding of good promotional writing, but you certainly can't be a good marketing firm and lets be frank, marketing is your key to success in this endeavor.

EDIT: I understand you are good willed, and perhaps have quite talented designers at your disposal. However from my perspective, as someone with a decent grasp of marketing techniques and countless hours of research into the best distribution channels for my own games, I can see that your current feature list shows a lack of understanding of the area you plan to service.

I am happy to explain why I think this, if you would like. But I understand you aren't looking for advice from this post so I'll stay (relatively) quiet.

I dont trust this. If that is their website, not only is it incomplete it is extremely unprofessional (noticice the text in the incomplete areas -- a halmark of Microsoft Publisher and simmilar tools). Poor grammar doesn't bother me simply because the ads for most big name companies aren't much better.

Anyway, SoapBath, you need to show us something that will prove your authenticity... otherwise we will continue to be extremely skeptical of you and your comments.

There was a saying we had in college: Those who walk into the engineering building are never quite the same when they walk out.

Well I did a quick whois on puresystems.co.uk and it's owner lives in Devon, about five minutes from me infact. That clashes with the OP's location wich is many hours drive away from here. Either way the website clearly isn't a publisher effort and the fill text is used by anyone who makes lots of websites.
