Indy Online-Only Game... publisher???

Although LucasArts probably won't ever make this game, I'll throw this hypothetical question out anyways: :)

Seeing that a massive Online-Only game needs a huge publisher to finance the upkeep of the servers needed to run it and the customer support needed to deal with the customer complaints due to initial bugs and such (LucasArts would develop the game, but I doubt even they have the capital to finance all that), which company would and/or could publish an Indiana Jones Online-Only game?

Since Electronic Arts is the publisher for Ultima Online, Sony for EverQuest and Microsoft for the upcoming Asheron's Call, those three companies are obviously not going to publish the Indy game (i.e. they won't help the competition). So what company is out there to publish this game? Or could LucasArts finance all that themselves?

As a side-question: Who (besides myself) would actually play this game if it ever did come out? :D
