Larian could - and imho should - be some kind of "role model" for other developers : Remain independed as much as you can ... And self-fund everything as far as possible - to elevate the company so far that it is finally in the strong position - not in the weak one.
But it i hard to "grow" like this : Because the bigger publishers most certainly don't want any competition and therefore hold the developers as muuch down as they can ... And yes, I regard EA like a hybride : Both dev and pub at the same time ...
