But you're right, bad business practice leads to a lot of dead companies. But what the industry is discovering - is that you can't "business" your way out of having no talent or interest for the art.

Kickstarter is a different way to get funding but I guarantee that if any of these projects don't have people who know something about business they are going to run into trouble. I took some classes about business at where I work and it was quite eye opening. I still despise "suits" who only know the business stuff (i.e., "empty suits") but I now understand better what it is that they do.
