"Just make good games" doesn't really work in the age where we've got tens of thousands of game releases per year compared to the age of a few hundred games per year.

The failure of a game doesn't come hand in hand with it being bad. Lots of studios are struggling right now, because there's just so much out there, and no one wants to compete with GTA.
