There was a fairly high profile game that "failed" and the developer had a big write up accepting some responsibility, but blaming other factors. But on reading I couldn't help but notice they had spent like 5 years and a ton of money making a game in a niche genre for 1 platform
Just because you worked really hard and made a cool thing doesn't mean that thing is commercially viable. This shouldn't be a hard concept to understand. We exist under capitalism, in order to actually survive the art you make needs to appeal to enough consumers willing to buy it

Yeeeees. I think there's a lot of overlooking this. We have this demonstrated semi regularly; a big release comes out, nails all the marketing checkpoints. Yet it fails in ways that're hard to apply raw numbers too - a project made to fulfil trends from 4 years back, etc
