But the fact that 7200 games failed to hit their goal doesn't mean anything by itself. Maybe they were horrible at "selling" their idea, or had unrealistic financial goals, or kickstarted too soon, etc.
Very strong companies with good market positions have reached that spot EXACTLY by screwing their workers until they went boom.
Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Dell, IBM, you name it.
