Expecting to turn a profit, much less get rich with anyhting less than "an utterly flawless, ground-breaking title and utterly blow everyone’s minds." is the problem.
Wait, you don't think anything less than 'state of the art' deserves to make any money?
I didn't get the impression that there was a value judgment attached, as much as an expectation judgment. Seems to me they're just saying that if your title contains flaws, is formulaic, and just kind of decent, that you shouldn't expect to make enough money to turn a profit, if the title's competing with enough other titles that are better in those categories.
He did talk about value twice in the previous sentences, but maybe I read it wrong. I feel like being 'kind of decent' should be an adequate standard for making a profit, though not for getting rich. It's the 'winner take all' mentality I find troubling.
