[AppDB] Publisher vs Developer?

Post by roflo1 »

I plan to submit a new app (well, new to AppDB... it was released in 1999 and is now discontinued):

The program in question is the Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas. It was published and is owned by Wizards of the Coast and was develped by Profantasy Software Ltd.

To make it even more confusing, most sources state that it was published by TSR, Inc., but TSR was acquired by Wizards before the release of the FR Atlas.

Which of these should I use when registering it?

While Profantasy is technically the developer, they don't own the rights and are unable to release a new version, for example.

Put the developer in the developer field. You can explain the difference between the publisher and developer in the application description if you think it's important.

Just wanted to follow up, the app is queued for approval.
And thanks, @dimesio.
