Public companies don't take private investment without issuing new shares. Which is not a common thing.

If you think publicly traded companies are taking investment like privately traded companies then I think you are likely somewhat uninformed.

What I said was that the developer may have other investors in the studio or the project even if they have a publisher. Immortals of Aveum, for instance, was published by EA but largely funded by venture capital.
