That sounds like a good thing. More companies willing to invest in the game industry and publish games, especially those that are willing to let devs keep the property rights themselves is definitely a good thing.

Gamestop though? How's that going to work? Aren't they one of the biggest fans of retailer exclusive stuff? Could these games they're publishing end up being sold exclusively in Gamestop stores or something?

I imagine them not having the games available digitally xD

"It makes sense, at least in the US. GameStop has over 6,000 stores worldwide, and it says it will be selling these games over PSN, Xbox Live and Steam, too. The firm also has deep pockets and so can fund larger projects."
