TIPS and ADVICEWe covered quite a bit today. Could you list 3 suggestions or tips you would recommend to indie devs based on our discussion?

1. Don’t panic about buying insurance, just being aware of the risks is 90% of the battle. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
2. Have a friendly lawyer you can reach out to. Most will give some time for free. Don’t be afraid to call them as they can save a TON of hassle later down the line
3. If you are outsourcing work, check if THEY have decent insurance? If something goes wrong with your project because of them, can they deal with a lawsuit? It’s ok to ask to see their policy.
