Publishers in this state need to die.

Look at Valve. They publish their own stuff right? And If I understand correctly they also get involved in other peoples games games. Same with §DR when they existed, with Max Payne, Prey etc.

Those guys were developers themselves. A game developer is the only thing that should be allowed to publish a game.

I've completely lost what I was trying to say..but I'm sure you understand the gist of it. If not, then I will simply say..Monkey Tennis.
