I respect your point about poker players, it may have been a silly comment when you compare it to an average person. But the 'gambling nature' of poker players doesn't translate well into business.
My point was that the 'business ventures' I see poker players taking on are ill-thoughtout and executed with a complete lack of understanding of the industry they're going into, yet at the same time an extreme arrogance, almost as if they think making money in poker means ANYTHING in the business world - it's irrelevant.
This is sort of a perfect example of this, maybe I'm wrong and I'd be completely fine apologising - but I doubt OP has even done any market research - if he did, he'd find that independent games rarely manage to break even (usually losing huge amounts of money).
I mean honestly, I hope I'm wrong, and good luck to you.
