Nintendo speaks more about removal of office space policy for indies

Originally, Nintendo had a policy in place that prevented independent developers from creating digital games without a proper office space. It ended up being removed earlier this year.

Dan Adelman, manager of business development licensing at Nintendo of America, recently spoke about the policy reversal in an interview with Game Informer. As far as why it was removed, he said:

“We got rid of that policy because more and more indie developers are telling us they work from home and that they’re doing coding there and their artist lives in Nebraska and they do everything over Skype and they meet once every two years. So we are finally able to support that so we updated our policies to reflect that.”
