So I got the boxed version of penumbra

And even though its made by frictional games, it said its made by paradox interactive instead. Any reason for this?

It was published by Paradox Interactive but developed by Frictional Games.

Pretty much plastered it was made by paradox interactive all over the box lol. I just found a small "Frictional Games" logo on the bottom somewhere.

This.

Publishers do the whole marketing thing, so at first it may seem that they are responsible for the game's development. Smile

But anyway, Paradox are cool guys. Big Grin

Publishers also take around 75% of the money. Kind of makes sense why they didn't get a publisher for Amnesia.

It's still listed as "Lux Tenebras" on their site, they need to update.

Publishers like Paradox Interactive do more good than bad for low-budget games. They share their name with less known video games, and do the dirty work of advertising and publishing (surprise surprise).

Taking 75% of the income might sound like something Reinhard Heydrich would do, but in reality they manage to sell so much of the merchandise that it pays off for the developers both financially and popularity wise.
