Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. As many large tech companies have found out the hard way (see also Alphabet, Amazon, arguably even Meta and Microsoft), the games industry is not like the tech industry as a whole when it comes to success. Making games is difficult, and they don't lend themselves well to the same development strategies as websites or apps do.

Add this to how unpredictable success is for the most part (even established teams with dozens of years of experience have struggled to create hits on a regular basis), how deeply competitive the industry is and how hard it is to even recognise a hit if you're not already involved, and well, it's a bad fit for the average non gaming company in general.
