Infographic: Publisher vs Developer

Thanks to Fattierob, a moderator of r/ArcheAge for creating this graphic to explain the difference between publisher and developer. So much hate for Trion is misguided as they simply do not have the power to do many of things we want. Now there are definitely things they can do (like ban botters and hackers) that if they are not doing then they probably deserve a little hate to light the fire under them and to get banning. They have been doing a good job of banning lately, banning around 5000 accounts daily. You can't underestimate that language and time barrier as well as realize they are on different continents, working remotely as a team has a lot of challenges (I know XL Games had people on site for launch, but I do not know how long they were staying local to help with issues).
