  > Game studios are businesses, not charities. Doesn't mean that you can't be charitable without being a charity. > Why should they dedicate resources to making a very small group of people happy? Because some might believe that the output of their work could be classified as a work of art in some ways and that it might be nice to preserve it. > And yes, the games are products: they cost money to make and they make money when they are sold. Sure! And if a game makes a sufficient amount of money, it wouldn't be a big deal to put some effort into doing nice things! Of course, cynical attitudes and corporate behavior like what happened with a lot of Microsoft game studios suggest otherwise. The world quite sucks sometimes. Luckily, that's just due to the behavior of bad actors, not some inherent truth about the world being a profit-driven rat race, because that's of their making.
