AAA games are costing more and more and reaching thresholds where you need a huge success to be profitable. Indie games is even worse. Of course there's a few dozen games every year that sell a good amount of copies and one of a handful of dev get a good payday. But the indie scene is mostly a graveyard of games and studios. The vast majority of games on Steam do not sell any meaningful number of copies.The ceiling is high, but the floor is really low and the average is incredibly close to the floor.Musk doesn't have 200 billions in liquidity. His net worth is in that range because of stocks and investments. But he'd have to liquidate assets to come up with that kind of money.</blockquote>
