third-party publishers

Third-party publishers are independent companies or entities that produce and distribute content—such as books, games, apps, or other media—on behalf of original creators or brands. They operate separately from the primary brand or developer, managing tasks like editing, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution. This allows creators to focus on their content while third-party publishers handle the business side. For example, a small company might publish a game developed by a different team, ensuring it reaches a wider audience. Overall, third-party publishers facilitate bringing diverse content to market beyond the primary producer or brand.
