Game publishers invest millions and plan years ahead, yet their business fundamentals can destabilize overnight due to external policy updates—whether it's an increased platform fee, restricted access in certain geographies, or a shift in content guidelines.

The contradiction is stark: publishers are expected to maintain financial stability and investor confidence in an ecosystem where they control neither the rules nor the playing field.

Developers, employees, and shareholders all bear the brunt of sudden shocks, leaving long-term planning largely speculative.

There is a lack of actionable forecasting and hedging mechanisms to protect against digital storefront policy risk.

Fragmented contracts, varying compliance requirements, and a historical lack of transparency make it impossible for publishers to proactively safeguard against these changes or anticipate their implications.

Reactive legal support and manual contract renegotiations, which are slow and costly.

Some basic scenario planning, but lacking in actionable, data-driven tools or financial hedging instruments tailored for the specific context of digital policy risk.
