Peter Zetterberg is business development manager for Microsoft Game Studios in Europe. He's the first point of contact for any developers looking to work with Microsoft as a first-party publisher. He sees on average 600 game proposals every year, and it's his and his team's job to work through them all, and whittle them down to the average number of releases that come out under the Microsoft Game Studios brand - just three per year.
In this exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Zetterberg discusses in detail the challenges of establishing MGS in Europe, Microsoft's publishing policy in the region, its criteria for working with independent developers, and why the company is always looking out for the next Halo.
