I mean generally I think it's cause the people who start these more creative focused companies like video games have a bunch of things they want to do but can't because of money. But when they get lots of money suddenly they're able to do all these cool ideas and hire the staff to make them happy. Then just naturally as companies get bigger they become harder to manage and the CEO who probably was just wanting to do creative stuff now is managing stuff instead so a new CEO comes in and that's when things start to become more profit focused and start to go bad. Or just when the original owners get greedy and take it public to try and make even more money.
