Anyway, does it really matter if they are being funded by a rich guy. You would assume that their games will sell enough for them to become self-sufficient after a while

Yes but what of before they get to that point?  Without the backing it may be that they would only have been able to make a cheap mini game complilation but with the financial backing they were able to make Conduit and not worry too much about the risk of the game not selling and them losing a chunk of money.  Or peharps they would have made the Conduit anyway but limited resources would have meant they cut corners in everyway possible and as a result the game was crap and a commercial failure.

Well they do have the rich guy, so that is a good thing, it allows them to make games like the Conduit
