This is basically why the largest studio in my county shut down last year. It was considered "insufficiently profitable" by the parent company. Not unprofitable. It was turning a profit and had produced some highly regarded games, including an award winner. It was also a company that treated its employees well, including offering highly flexible working hours and having a dog-friendly office. I'd been eyeing them up because I'd hoped to work there when I got my degree. But nope, they're gone now because they weren't making enough money.
I believe society as a whole should stop idolising the wealthy, and start seeing their inability to be satisfied with having enough money for a comfortable life as the dysfunction it is. Never being satisfied no matter how much money you have should be seen as a problem, not something to aspire to.
