Couple of "WHYYYY?" comments on here, mostly with good answers, but one more piece that hasn't been mentioned: since the industry is very competitive, having experience on a shipping game is a huge benefit to your resume. I'm sure many of those programmers/artists thought "OK, just make it through this game and then I'll actually have something on my resume."

I mean, could you imagine quitting a startup before they shipped a product?

I did. (Granted, the product changed every month and the website I was working on changed every week.)
