# Game Dev Studio

When a player purchases a license a new Game Dev Studio is created. Each player is in charge of a Game Dev Studio and should try to create the best possible games, as this will increase the studio revenues and reputation.

It is important to understand the difference between a Player and a Game Dev Studio.

A **Player** (blockchain account) is the owner of the following items:

* $PXL Tokens and PXL Coins
* The Game Dev Studio License
* All NFTs, both team members and accessories
* All completed [Research and Development](/gameplay/research-and-development.md) projects
* All (un-opened) packs

The **Game Dev Studio** is a separate entity with some specific attributes:

* A reputation score
* A fanbase
* All the games released by that studio

*NOTE: Players in the future may run multiple Game Dev Studios, but not at launch. So this distinction will be even more important going forward.*
