It depends on what game you are talking about. For example EA are now publishing Half-life games, but because of the strength of the half-life name EA can't get away with pushing Valve around because any other publisher would be happy to take them on plus they have their own distribution method. I would like to think that Crysis will give Crytek the power to take the upper hand.Kreeeee said:EA suck as publishers because they put too much pressure on release deadlines forcing buggy unfinished games to be released.
