Question for Pro members

I was wondering since pro members no long have the GS splash screen, would it be possible to use a publishing company such as chillingo?
If so and chillingo accepted you game, would you publish with them knowing that they have Angry birds and cut the rope as huge titles behind them? This could lead to a lot of downloads, but a big cut in revenue. I've done some reading and i believe it would be Apple 30% You 30% Chillingo 40%
Still 30% of lets say 10,000 downloads is a lot more than the average 70% of the 1,000 downloads at most people get on their own.
Besides if you do have a hit with a publishing company it will only build your name and you can then release on your own, Look at Angry birds of course.
So question is would a publishing company be able to use our game if they were interested?
If so would you go with it?

just having an amazingly good game is not enough. You need the ability to get noticed which 95% of GS users have an issue with. The use of a publisher and a successful game would give you the name recognition that is needed to continue to be successful at this. Once you get that recognition you would be able to continue to make great game with out a publisher and people will buy it because they noticed you made the other Awesome game.

Idk how many people like to tinker as much as me, but I noticed that when you publish your game through Gs and before you upload to apple you can actually go in and mess with the xcode file. Since I dont know xcode I never mess with anything, but couldnt this be used to integrate the crystal system? Or is it stated somewhere in GS that we cant mess with that file?
