what partnerships would you like KSP/SQUAD to make?

Dude, Squad could leverage that partnership for incredible market exposure and then sell the franchise, cashing out for obscene sums. They're already rolling in the bread from early-access sales, might as well get some cabbage while they're at it.

Sounds like the game company equivalent of selling ones soul...

Or making some serious cash and then starting another game company to do it all again. EA is a no-brainer.

I think EA or another publisher would be a good partner for Squad.

NO,NO,NO!

Are you nuts? EA is just a cash machine with no regard for community or quality games. They just make games for the money. Look at SimCity 5.

NO EA!

But would they be leveraging their synergy, or just focusing on their core competencies? I think they could do better with a crowd sourced b2b vortal; it would let them proactively recapitalize their infrastructure while getting on-message with their parallel organizational matrix approaches.

There's more to business to selling out, there's also meaningless phrases er stupid jargon advanced terminology!

If I led a game development company, and a big corporation offered to buy us up in exchange for money, uhh duh, i'd take it. Obviously there would be some negotiations and I would ensure that my family and I would be well off for years to come.

Squad is a business and their goal at the end of the day is entirely about profit. That's just good business sense.

[TythosEternal]

Capital and distribution is not an issue, but branding is. Fortunately, SQUAD is a marketing business, and they've already built some great (and free) synergies with very big names. There is no need for a publisher. They just need to keep doing what they do best, which they already are.

A promotional partnership would be far more ideal rather then a commercial one, I for one would savour a picture of a Kerbal inside the ISS or in a suborbital trajectory.(We don't need more junk in space)
