Publishers more often then not also pay for the development of the game. If PC developers quit using publishers, then the only Triple A games would be on the consoles. People who buy Indie games are a small niche, and developers would get very little money to be able to actually make a Triple A quality games.
Okay that's the answer I was looking for. Most of our stuff honestly comes from people providing their own tools and the tools I *do* provide are usually open source free ones, for example: Blender, Hammer, etc.
Yeah they do lack the professional cutting edginess that is more available like in titles like this one.
Okay I fully get you now. While it does legitimize the use of publishers and normal investors, unfortunately Publishers still need to do some damned research and not be bought into other sales people for these 3rd party DRM services which defeat their own purpose.
eisberg - Seriously, thank you for this answer, it's exactly what I needed to know and hear.
