Mm, quite a statement to make. Have you access to Stardock's accounts to back this up? If not, I would suggest such confidence to be misplaced. The most successful companies in the games industry can be brought to their knees within six months by poor decision-making, difficult trading conditions or actions taken by others ( e.g. Interplay, Looking Glass, Black Isle).. |
While the companies produced great games, I don't know if any of them were financially successful before their bankruptcy. At least Looking Glass wasn't, according to
this article. It does describe high risks of game development and especially self-publishing game developers, but AFAIK Stardock is still making money from their non-gaming software and that should help them quite a bit.
