"I have no financial interest whatsoever" means you don't have any impact, either. I was talking about people being willing to spend money or invest capital when there is a high degree of uncertainty. If you only buy a game once it comes out and gets good reviews, you aren't in the cohort I was talking about.Why would I? Plenty of games have been produced by companies that have made a ton of money in the past that I never purchased. Other times companies have come out of nowhere to produce games I really enjoy.
I hope they produce good games because it would likely be in a genre I enjoy. But I have no horse in this race, no financial interest one way or another, I have no idea if they're going to produce good games or not.
