Well yeah, the ultimate goal of any company is to make money- got to keep the lights on somehow. However, there is a key difference between companies run by gamers who are passionate about the hobby, and those who are run by soulless corpo types who barely understand the product they are producing.What was TSR trying to do? Make money from the game, the brand, and games/hobbies in general!
Products of your imagination - they weren't giving away those products for free!
Say, Larian studios vs. Electronic Arts, if you will.
