Does that mean not using a publisher? You can either make a great game, or you can use a publisher, we apparently can't have both.

Edit: nope... "In a statement on the studio's founding, NetEase said the company was hoping to build franchises "with depth and possibility that can't be contained in a single game, or even a single medium".

So they want to take one game and break it into many (probably $70+) games and they want to make it on multiple consoles which means it has to be dumbed down for the lowest common denominator.
