2 Publishers

[oG x TEDDY]

This may sound stupid but i want to know.......
Say you made a game and you want to publish using two publishers like microsoft and sony
can you do that?
please write only about the topic

You could probably do it with two smaller publishers but big publishers like Activision, EA, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo would probably not want to do something like that.

Also why do you want to know this?

I don't know why you would want to do that, and I don't know why they would want to do that. I don't think I've ever heard of multiple publishers for the same work, in any medium. You'd be doubling the portion of the profits that you have to leave to the publisher, and the publishers would lose sales to each other. I don't see any advantage for anyone in this.

Why would you want to? Wouldn't that double the cost of getting your game out into the world?
