Now he's not doing the same mistake and he's doing his new project, Stygian Worlds, with all the precautions necessary. He's not just making a game anymore, he's creating a world with it's own community and he's doing it for the players. The risks are ginormous since he will have to keep enough players interested in the game at all time for the servers to be payed up. Lot's of investments, lot's of details to check. Not so easy as if you let some mainstream peoples take care of everything in order to make big buck. You have many indie artist now... not just musicians.
