Why does there have to be an "end game"? Why can't they be a company that just makes good tools and sells them to people?


Because they just took $181M of other peoples money and those people are going to want a return on that investment. If you want to be company that just makes modest profits year after year selling good tools to people you can't accept large bags of outside money.


Because it is a business. Actions have to be focused around objectives, where goals are the stepping stones to said objective.

"Why can't they be a company that just makes good tools and sells them to people?"

That in itself can be an endgame. A profitable game development company that makes great tools. However, if they are already profitable, and seem to already do this - why take the money? Hence my question.


If there's no "end game", why do they need such a large amount of funding?
