That's a bad example list. Daikatana was done by an industry veteran who revolutionized gaming and was an attempt to try something new. Duke Nukem Forever is the butt of all jokes, but the end result you are talking about is a thrown together piece of shit that had nothing to do with the original and nothing with the article. Broken Age was also done by veterans and even thought it wasn't what was expected it was a decent game. Star Citizen I fon't know much about and since it isn't released yet I wont comment on it Anyway the article is about giving students who didn't do anything but had an "award winning" idea free reign about money and clear goal without monitoring them. They then played counter strike in 600$ gaming chairs. There is a documentary of the making off of broken age and they didn't just fuck around with the money, so most of your examples probably don't fit at all
