Why can't they appeal to a third party publisher? Why does it have to be a big one like Microsoft or Sony?

They want to piggy back off the reputation of a big name without a price?

"It means if we want to release the game on XBLA we must throw, probably, most of the profit out of the window -- to the publisher. Just because we created Mac and Linux versions."

That's why. Aren't we always saying here on these forums that everything in this business is about making profit and getting them dollars?

Again, massive misquote. Let's see how much they "throw out the window" by getting a publisher.

Namely, to be on XBL, PSN, or Wii, they NEED A PUBLISHER. THEY WILL LOSE THE "SAME" AMOUNT OF MONEY.

Really? Is this hard?
