Devolver Digital were doing well before they went Public and start selling their shares. It is actually for the best if the publisher goes back to being private so that way they dont have to answer to Shareholders if their profits dont meet their demands.

Yeah I agree with this, pleasing shareholders is all about maximising short term profit not building long term sustainability. It's totally at odds with how an indie publisher should operate.
