Wow, that’s one hell of a naive mind-set. He basically bet it all on red and since it paid of he’s going to be hailed as a genius. But in reality with that kind of “plan” it was a gamble that could just as well have ended in the company going under and everyone out of a job. I’m actually most interested in how he sourced the money, who loaned them the cash? (Or invested in the company). I very much doubt they had that kind of money laying around after their previous, rather niche games.
There are some absolute gems out there that totally flopped or at least didn’t do that well.
It reminds me of seven kingdoms. It’s a really unique RTS that came out in the 90s. Still one of my favourite games. But it got completely shadowed by C&C

In all honestly, every video game is a gamble whether it’s financially successful or not.

I don’t think Steam was around back then.
