Yep. This is literally how it goes with popular media. Books, film, television, everything.
The majority of what you put out will break even, be a mild success, or lose money. But you'll have a scant handful of superstars that basically pay for everything else.

I'm starting to really believe that the only way to get a runaway success is for companies to fund like 20 new projects, 19 of them will either fail or make no impression, and then the 20th will resonate with audiences and create tons of merch opportunities like Bluey or KPop Demon Hunters

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

Rather than be seen as a "pushover" for paying his staff what he OWED them, this CEO would rather be seen as an incompetent loser who can't even think for himself as he asks an LLM how to scam his employees out of their earned bonuses

Krafton CEO allegedly asked ChatGPT to help him find a way out of paying Subnautica 2 devs their bonuses because he wanted to avoid the 'professional embarrassment' of being seen as a 'pushover'
A pre-trial brief filed by former Unknown Worlds bosses says Krafton CEO Changham Kim was worried about losing his job for overpaying for the studio.

Today the British union IWGB said it has filed formal legal claims against Rockstar Games for firing 30+ employees two weeks ago, as Bloomberg first reported. Rockstar said the employees were leaking information. The IWGB calls it union-busting. More to come as the legal process plays out...

I was deeply disappointed at the time. I think it was a case of just not being noticed as opposed to getting actively ignored/buried, but I think it was an important report that should have been picked up by more media.
Sadly, my reporting work has always gone down that way.

I’m still mad at how the industry and gamers ignored when you did the investigative journalism they keep asking you to do, when you covered Rockstars crunch and toxic work environment/conditions

This game can be nothing but amazing.
In case you didn’t know - alongside Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator, we’re also making an arcade isekai driving game called Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World!
Early days, but here’s some cool visuals from the project as it’s coming together!!

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.
Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world
