And *that* is the real reason. For every game that comes out that makes
a bunch of money, there are *20* (at least) that don't even make it to
the market. On every game like that, the publishers loose big. Once a
development house gets a good enough track record, they can get better
deals. By that point most are ready to start self publishing, though...
