Of course, Playtonic assured fans that it would still be primarily a developer, even while embarking on this new initiative:

> It’s just about finding those games and developers with real potential, that want to do something long-term, and that we can help them… that’s the important thing. As an operation we’re still going to be 90%, developer, 10% publisher, but with an eye on self-publishing in the future, we’re going to have skills and expertise in-house to help other people.
>
> The net result is hopefully that more games not only come out, but they come out with more chance for the developer to be sustainable moving forward.
>
> We’re not being corporate about this at all. We’re not looking to become a publisher to drive our growth. We’re not looking at spreadsheets and future forecasting and saying: ‘Hey, this needs to go up to this point, and then go higher and higher, steeper and steeper.’
>
> It’s still about making sure we can make the games that we want to make, and now we hope we can help others along the way.

Good for them, we hope a lot comes from them branching out in this fashion.
