Talent is not some kind of limited resource. It doesn't get used up when a game is launched.

A songwriter that doesn't do as well with their second album did not lose talent.

the talent isn't gone but used so the returns are lower and lower.

and TALENT is a limited resource,don't you understand anything about the world? - if everybody ha talent then everybody would be successful but they are not

You're overly inflating success and talent.  Talent can lead to success, but plenty of people are successful without talent and plenty of talented people are not successful. 

>if everybody ha talent then everybody would be successful but they are not

1.) You're incorrectly assuming that talent necessarily leads to success. Which it doesn't. Luck is an important factor. 

2.) You're seemingly incorrectly assuming that all talent is equally valuable, which it isn't. Someone can be talented, but not be valuable. 

3.) Saying that talent doesn't run out, is not the same as everyone having talent. The former is about a single individual. The latter is about all people, which clearly doesn't hold.  

You have a misunderstanding of what TALENT is.TALENT isn't some magical thing which one has.People have different natural abilities aka Talents but they can be molded into the direction which leads their abilities to shine.

Talents aren't rigid,with enough work they can be used to produce success even in non related fields but work is required for that.

And in your definition,the gaming industry is HUGE but only 1 developer ROCKSTAR produces games anywhere near as big as Grand Theft Auto.If Talent was unlimited then everybody would sell like GTA games.

LUCK is a word in the dictionary of Losers who always say the other person got successful cause they were lucky hiding their own shortcomings
