Privately-owned companies with no ties to venture capitalists are just plain better than corpos that worry too much about "line go up".

Facts.

But what does it mean for the studio if line goes down? They still need to worry about if their team will be able to be paid.

You can have deep wells if cash if your profit doesn't go to shareholders. This can help sustain your team when times are tough.

Apple has the most cash out of any company in the world and they're still "giving their profit to shareholders"
