But game publishers don't do this, and haven't for years. What they do is precisely to "turn it out asap at the lowest cost possible".

I should have phrased it better.

They do that but still spend resources on actually developing proper product.

They don't look for a "rockstar developer" and turnout a awesome app/game with a budget of $1,000.
