FOG Studios makes the whole process easier with their expertise, knowledge and connections. With their help, our vendor selection has been a breeze and through their introduction and guidance, the communication with the new team has run smooth from day one. I would recommend them to any studio looking for the right match for a successful outsource collaboration.”

“The FOG Studios staff is very personable, has high integrity and brings good value to the relationships that they establish.”

“I’ve known Ed for many years and worked closely with him from 2007-2016. Ed works incredibly hard for his clients and has a great team of people working with him at Fog Studios. He knows the video game industry from every angle and because of this knowledge and depth of experience he is able to walk the line of pushing hard for the best deal he can get for his development clients while also knowing what is important to the other party. Over the course of many negotiations Ed became a person whose opinion and insight I sought out about things unrelated to our own business together. I hope I have many more opportunities to work with Ed in the future.”
-Bill Anker, VP Business Development & Licensing, D3Publisher
“From a publisher’s perspective, it’s super refreshing to work with an agency like FOG that puts the needs of a project first, and understands all the places where things can go off the rails from both the publisher and the developer’s perspective. Ed is the best game agent I have ever worked with and you can count on him to come up with creative and effective solutions to whatever challenges you are facing. Also, should anything unplanned occur during development, Ed and his team are there to mediate a fair and equitable solution for all parties. I can’t recommend a better solution to any independent development studio, irrespective of their level of history and experience in the industry, than working with FOG Studios.”
-Joel Breton, VP VR Content, HTC Vive

-Vedran Klanac, CEO, Ocean Media
“For a studio trying to cut its figure in this space, FOG delivered us credibility and guidance that was critical.
