Publishers live from... errr... publishing. Although they're not the persons/companies that actually create something new - that's up to the developers: you know, the crazy, talented nerds who work at night, sleep during the day, and eat pizza and drink coke

-, they're the ones making
by far the greater profit. Obviously, they'll do anything to keep themselves alive, with any means necessary, whether it's media-based copy protection, online activation or registering your home address at the CIA and watching you with a satellite from above. Developers love their games and their users; publishers only love money. That's how capitalism works: people with money live off people without money.
