The developers are paid to make a game for the pubishers. In return for bankrolling the development costs, the publisher gets a bit of say so in how the game is made. The details may be different for each and every game, but some publishers make specific demands. One of EAs is that it cant be a M rated game. They sold 50% of all games sold last year, not including the best selling sims series and did not have one M rated release. I do not know Sierras policy.
