I listen to a podcast called how I built this and basically this is every start ups plan. People set out to change an industry and always sell to the same conglomerates and ride off into the sunset rich as hell. It’s not very inspiring sometimes.

When both Patrick Schwarzenegger and Stephanie Ledda said that's the dream, to be bought out for millions and millions, I gave up.

I just remember in Baby Boom Diane Keaton saying if you can take this company far then so can I. I was under that illusion my whole life.

Sadly even Valve does shady stuff like loot boxes with RMT. In fact, TF2 helped popularize it for the entire gaming industry.
