You can just look at all the shit and think that's the entire definition of the world, or you can see from ever angle other than the darkest corner in your box.

No, in my world SE gave them so much to raise the PoS that was 1.x from the pits and had them do whatever it took to actually make profit. Of course, no one in their right mind would just give 100% to that. They gave him a limited budget, he did what he could to turn it around and make a profit. But they only get so much as obviously SE itself takes a large cut from the profits. What's left would only likely break even with maintaining staff and equipment. Worse case scenario is that even subscriptions alone wouldn't have been enough to maintain staff and equipment, so something else had to be done. No reason for SE to throw even more extra funding to them from profits of other games. Let them be self sufficient while only making profit from them. They want more, they work to get more, but only by themselves.
