An investor doesn't really in the end care about product quality, they just care that it sells, that's why Barbie horse adventure never has to turn to kick starter to get made, it will make enough that it is an acceptable risk to investors, and why untested indie games routinely die on the vine.
Thanks for the reply, also I wasn't trying to be condescending. It was an honest question. I am a PEngineering major, I won't try to pretend like I know more then someone in the field. Though the discount given is a gain. As well as several other opportunities.
