Melbourne, Australia recently played host to the Digital Distribution Summit, where a number of industry figures and successful independent developers came together to discuss the future of downloadable gaming. One of the most interesting segments (and the subject of the aforementioned video) was the keynote speech delivered by former worldwide XBLA portfolio manager David Edery.

The talk was a bit slow paced in some parts with a lot of umms and ahhs but it did contain a lot of useful information. This video would probably be very helpful for a new developer. Some of the stuff seems almost common-sense like but for those who lack common business sense, it's no doubt helpful.

You guys all suck. That was very interesting stuff.

honestly... someone should have cut out the first lady... she was extremely boring to listen too...
but I do have one thing to say... "ooh! are you ok?"

Even though I'm not in the game-developing business, he had some great points that I'm certainly going to explore for my music sales online.
A lot of his advice applies cross-industry.

I'm surprised this wasn't banned in Australia...
