Failures are always interesting, but it is incredibly hard to pinpoint why it failed. Lots of things can go wrong, and it is usually a combination of factor that kills a company.

I was once told only to take advice from people who succeeded repeatedly at a task. Building a company and succeeding is impressive, but there may be a lot more factors in play than just the actions of the founders. Building several successful companies makes the difference.

It’d also be interesting to hear from someone who succeeded once but then repeatedly failed, and then succeeded one or more times again

I started following a lot of indie games on Reddit, and it was a huge bummer to watch great-looking, fun, polished games crash and burn time after time

It definitely scared me away from investing in my own game ideas.. not sure if that was a good thing or not
