What IO Games outsources and how open it is to new partners

The verdict rates how hard it is for a new vendor to win work in each discipline: how much of the work goes to outside vendors rather than staying inside, whether the same partners come back or change from project to project, and how often first-time partners got in over recent years.

• Lead & co-development: Possible: outsourced less often, but not to a fixed circle. Sourcing model: done by its own studios (1 vendors per title, typical 1); own studios do about 89% of the work by companies taking part. 1 of 8 titles with detailed credits since 2015 used an external partner (13%), 8 credit the company's own studios; 1 external partners, 0 of them returning (0% of outsourced titles), most often Bandeirantes Software (100%). Small base: a first signal, not a settled pattern.
• Porting services: Hard to enter: one or two partners hold the work. Sourcing model: regularly outsourced (1 vendors per title, typical 1). 8 of 8 titles with detailed credits since 2015 used an external partner (100%); 1 external partners, 1 of them returning (100% of outsourced titles), most often Megame (100%).
