Default publisher

simply put..though in general (since we do not have an insight into possible contracts)

a publisher FUNDS the game being made, thus it's in it's best interest to do PR. It's not an obligation, because the publisher has to answer to noeone.. not even the designer, since the publisher is the one paying the designer (there might also be an agreement that the designer gets payed with a percentage of sales as a bonus).

so in this case, we can say Anaconda/DTP is not obliged to do an elabourate PR stunt, but probably will (when the time is there) to promote a game they hope can 'make a buck'
