I was going to list Funcom here, but pretty sure the devs said Funcom wasn't interested in a WH40K Game... at that time, so they moved over to Behaviour. Now, who knows...
Why do they need one? They said they're paying for the game out of pocket as it is. Do they just need a publisher for distribution in different countries?
My bad i did not know that in that case i would hope they could self publish it possibly use a kickstarter for it if that is possible?
Im kinda indifferent on this topic, as publishers dont really make the game better or worse(?). I think they said in the M&A that they definitley dont want EA to ruin the game so that possibility is ruled out like it was in the start. My vote goes to bethesda mainly because they have expierence and they have done decently well with eldar scrolls and what not.
I think I'd pay extra for them to self-publish But if they find a good understanding publisher that shares our common philosophy and lets DEVs do what they do, the way they wanna do it.. Then yeah, sure
If they have to go threw a big publisher my choice would be Eidos/Square Enix as they are big enough to hit all markets especially the Asian market who will eat this game up.
