Publisher Profiles: New SAZ service for game publishers and game designers

The Game Designers Association (SAZ) has launched a new service on its website with the section "Publisher Profiles". Game publishers can introduce themselves there in short form with their focal points and search fields for new games and give contact information.

Change in the management of SAZ

As the new manager of Spiele-Autoren-Zunft e.V., Hans-Peter Stoll (46) will take over a large part of the responsibilities of Christian Beiersdorf (71) as of August 1, 2020. However, Christian Beiersdorf will continue to work as a consultant for copyright issues and public affairs in the management.

BECOME A MEMBER IN A STRONG COMMUNITY
AND REPRESENTATION OF INTERESTS

Knowing to belong to a professional and strong community is protecting me at every step: from the first idea up to the publication.

Carlo E. Lanzavecchia

As a game designer living abroad the SAZ is important to me to help with contracts, share know-how about publishers and, maybe the most important reason of all, getting to know my colleagues.

Liesbeth Bos

The SAZ is the strong voice for a fair and cooperative partnership with publishers!

Marco Teubner

I joined the SAZ because designing games is a young profession and we game designers need to communicate about our status, rights and duties.

Antoine Bauza

The SAZ is more than just a successful advocacy. It provides authors a home and lets them share their wealth of experience. Thus, it was and is an vital component of today’s diverse and challenging games landscape.

Klaus Teuber

Without game designers, there would be no games. The SAZ brings us designers together to promote the culture of gaming so that many people can enjoy our games.

Reiner Knizia

The combined expertise of the SAZ and its members, the networking among them and the many nice “colleagues” are worth gold.

Inka Brand

I always find competent contact persons in the SAZ for my questions. Thanks to SAZ my interests towards games publishers are well represented.
