They're making a bigger game than expected, and exploring options on how to do that without getting a publisher. They are pouring all of the profits from their other games into this one. Thing is about this game, is that it is going to define who they are as a studio. They don't want to let anyone down, and they also want the game to be a financial success because whether or not it succeeds is going to determine their business model for the future. If the game is a real success, they will be able to forgo the publisher model completely. To just laugh at good people trying to make their company viable is kind of stupid, don't you think? Especially in an industry that sees clever, brilliant companies going out of business left and right, along with huge companies. It's a tough business.
