*Ever so slow clap*

I always thought that Publishers should just handle publicity and advertisement and getting it released. While they do that, they can fund development and have the fate of a game in their hands I'll link a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3pt9wwEzic Some did not get released because no one wou...

Added a small summary of my research.

Sorry guys, this was really sudden, I was essentially working on this 5 minutes so I could do something outside of this.
