Then later the publisher collapses, and the creditors sue all the developers for the money they were paid while the publisher was in bankruptcy.  That can be financially devastating to a small development company.Unfortunately the only people who benefit from bankruptcy are the lawyers who suck up all the money on all sides.</blockquote>
