@below (what can i say still not yet used to the new reply system yet ).

And yet you are a bit , like myself :p

The blurb about Atlus being "behind Demon's souls" was from the examiner itself . especially when the context use at least others franchises actually developped by atlus , besides publishing it

The press release state that they are a publisher of the game , nothing else , as it should be

@reluctant_gamer

The first few words were about Atlus still being awesome , so hardly a problem here :p

Not to be argumentative, but:
"JUNE 8, 2010 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc., publisher of Demon's Souls™, GameSpot.com's 2009 Game of the Year, and Frozenbyte, developers of Shadowgrounds™ and the award-winning Trine™, today announced a publishing partnership for an as-of-yet unannounced 2011 digital distribution title."
(From the press release - Demon's Souls is the FIRST game they mention)

Oh you boys and your bickering :-)
Personally I don't see the crime in writing "The publisher behind such games as Demon's Souls."

It's the same as Activision being "The publisher behind such games as Demon's Souls." Atlus spent the money to market and promote Demon's Souls in the US, wrote the press releases, put it in North American reviewers hands, etc.

Can we just get back to digging the company now?
