“It’s like going to a candy store.”

    -John Sutyak, Head of New Business, Atari

“FOG Studios provided a focused effort to understand Activision’s needs and proposed good solutions for each situation. They are a reliable partner who tended to our needs throughout the project and beyond. Based on this experience, I highly recommend FOG and look forward to working with them again!”

    -Tomas Roller, Producer, Activision

“FOG is unlike any agency I have ever dealt with because they really do care about the needs of the project, not just their client, and they are eminently fair, and great folks to boot. They have my utmost respect.”

    -Brian Christian, VP Konami

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

    -Glenn Wissner, Senior Producer, Sega of America

“Ed Dille and FOG team are always a pleasure to work with. They make even the toughest business situations much easier to resolve & ensure a smooth process from the very beginning of the relationship. I do recommend FOG Studios as your partner agency, especially if you value productive & smooth long-term partnerships. Not that common a thing in our industry!”

    -Andrew Chan, Head of Development, Wargaming.net

“With the increasing number of outsourcing companies worldwide, it is difficult to find the right 3rd party vendor to suit a project’s needs. 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.”

    -Alexandra Cicorschi, Art Outsource Producer, Ready At Dawn

“FOG Studios has time and again proven their professionalism and passion in everything they do. The team has made it a priority to pair reliable and talented developers with publishing partners for their mutual benefit. We highly value and recommend FOG Studios’ insights, experience, and commitment!”

    -Jennie Sue, Developer Relations, DeNA

“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

“The FOG Studios team came up with several outstanding development options for us in just a few days. They helped drive the right developer selection with a very open mind and they really listened to our needs….outstanding!!”

    -Mark Meadows – Principal, GameMill Entertainment

“FOG Studios has been accommodating to our needs in finding the right titles to add to our lineup. They make great efforts in understanding our budgets and types of titles we are looking for. We intend to continue our relationship with FOG Studios as a valued partner in our process of evaluating future titles.”

    -Akibo Shieh, Founder and CEO, Aksys Games

“Ever present, on point and always a pleasure to talk to, Ed Dille and his team at FOG make my work much easier as publisher on the lookout for the next great game. They’re a straight shooting team – a rare trait in the industry today – that help things move forward at a steady clip.”

    -Shams Jorjani, VP Business Development, Paradox

“FOG Studios has connected us to talented and competent contractors and been especially helpful in mediating those relationships through sometimes difficult linguistic and cultural barriers. As an independent game developer and publisher being able to find and develop long term relationships with quality contractors that fill the gaps in our capabilities is essential to ensuring a quality product.”

    -Tim Shannon, Producer, S2 Games

“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

“FOG’s talent pool really stands out from the rest. I would not consider working with any other agency. They have impressed our Licensor partners like Cabelas and Hasbro as well.”

    -Pat Kelly, Producer, Activision

    -Andrew Lum, CEO, Fugazo

    -Ronnie Nelis, CEO, Team6 Game Studios BV

“For a studio trying to cut its figure in this space, FOG delivered us credibility and guidance that was critical. They became our champions on the business development front so we could focus on what we do best: designing products. They continuously delivered us those moments of opportunity and helped prepare us to enter every room with full confidence. It’s a high-character crew that leads with hard-earned wisdom.”

    -Travis Fox, Chief Creative Officer, Raincrow Studios

“I had worked with FOG at my former company as an employee, so had seen what they could do previously. When I founded my company five years ago, I sought them out and it has been fabulous, both personally and professionally. I continue to grow as a CEO thanks to them.”

    -Vedran Klanac, CEO, Ocean Media

“FOG Studios has represented my company for over a decade now. They have been instrumental in closing great deals for us, including all of the Puzzle Quest products. Ed and his team are, at the same time, both extremely professional and extremely approachable – a true pleasure to work with.”
