You mean they throw a lot of money at the wall hoping that something will stick?
That's how it works, yes.
You spend money creating something, hoping the market will pick it up.
If you create a good product the market will pick it up, throwing cash at random projects and killing it when it doesn't make huge profit sounds wasteful.
Committing resources to projects then keeping them/killing them depending on how they go really isn't abnormal or a poor business practice, no matter how much you try to make it sound like one.
True, if you have extra money, ...
It just 'feel' bad/wrong like now Google has a brand that they will quickly kill any project they start.
No, if you have any amount of money. Large or small.
Havingess money, if anything, presses you to kill projects more.
