Why not? Knowledge of 3D graphics does not magically give you knowledge of the business procedures of publishing a game.

I know what he intended, but its a worrying trend that lots of americans don't know the difference. o_O
How do you know he is American? This is an international forum. "Its" possible that he's English.
if i have a funding problem i must find a distrubutor . but what is the diffrences betwwen the two what the publisher doing more than the distrbutor to take % 70 of the money???
Ddevelopers make very little of the $44.99. I''m talking $5 or $10 max. This is partly the reason why Valve is implementing Steam, if they can self-publish their games, think of what that means to the industry (and what it means to the publishing industry :D). If Steam breaks though and does successfully (which it wont if they dont fix the bugs), it''ll be interesting to see how many other developers go the same route. By the way, doesn''t that game Savage self-publish their game? They had it on their website for $40 to download it, that''s awesome! So much easier than going to the store and getting all that crap that I usually throw away (box manual etc.).
As for the original poster, there''s a whole bunch of companies that might take on it, realarcade.com...and...., ok I''m drawing a blank, but there''s tons of places that publishes independent games.
Blizzard is also a publisher. Even if it is not a publisher the rates will not be at %70, because Blizzard is a reliable producer( No one can think Blizzard will be unsuccessful) The %70 rates are only to the new established companies which has great possibility of being unsuccessful. The rates will drop with the decrease of risk.
