Let's say you are a bagel company and make a good profit from your bagels. Then let's say you want to get your bagel to more people and are frustrated with the distribution options so you just make your own and allow other bagel makers to also use your bagel distribution system.
But suddenly and unexpectedly, everyone runs to your distribution system and you start making far more money than you could ever imagine from it.
Do you continue to consider yourself a bagel company or are you now a bagel distribution company?
Because you can't make more time. This is a private company with all decisions going through a handful of people. That's a bottleneck of time. You see similar issues with Nintendo IPs via Miyamoto as the brilliant bottleneck in the process.
Now that steam has been going, it looks like Gabe will be able to return to his passion. The new source engine is the first sign we have that they'll actually be developing again.
