Maybe I am watching too many series on drug lords but Game studios feel like money laundering operations. How do you even give a group 100-200 mil and say ok go make something for 3 years or whatever with no guarantee it will work?

If you're actually interested in learning more, I highly recommend the book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels :)

Thanks will check it out. But these books are usually overloaded with the creative and tech side of the struggle and gloss over where the cash comes from and how it's kept flowing to keep the lights on.
How is that different than most startups?
