Yeah but publishing is still work though. It's become much easier to self publish on Steam as a small developer, but there is still value in having a professional publisher. It's hard to say how much value and sometimes the publisher takes up more than their fair share, but it's not like zero value either.

Fair, but the point was that the parent company is unaffected by this, the people who work there haven't quit afaik.

Edit: hold up I just had a double take at the article and it's the publisher where people quit lmao. I actually can't read goddamn ignore me...

Edit 2: Ok I see what confused me now. On another site I read that the Alan wake deal is unaffected because that's with the parent company Annapurna Pictures. Mixed them together.
