The whole Gothic 3 incident is not as one sided as many people think: The blame lies with both PB and JoWood. Keep in mind that JoWood willingly pushed the deadline several times, but PB kept failing to meet the new deadlines. At some point, a publisher has to draw the line or a game will need to sell millions to break even.
Sure, the add-on was terrible and JoWood is most likely to blame for that, but at that point JoWood was already on their way down the drain due to serious financial problems.
Prior to all that, they had quite a few good releases.
Edit: Just to clarify.
I'm not saying JoWood didn't make a bunch of poor decisions. They clearly did. I'm just saying they're not the devil, which people seem to think they are - they're no better or worse than most publishers. Yes, they're in it for the money, but every publisher is.
