When it comes to publishers (the people who fund your game) it is all about the money ...
Anyways, many forms of art require a financial backing in order to exist; a very common one is Theater. With the theater there are limits to how much money you can get allocated for a show which are set based on the ammount of money you can reasonably collect from the show; certainly you could spend 4 to 5 times that and get a great deal of "Artistic" benefit from it but no producer is going to fund it. Shows like Cats have massive budgets (and historically high revinues) because they can tour around the country and collect 5 to 10 times as much money per show than a local show can yet there are (easily) 10 to 100 times as many shows produced locally on a shoe string budget than there are big budget shows.
