Indie games and the odd hit. Spend two years building something that might sell.

Games are hit driven: most titles earn back less than they cost and one in twenty pays for everything else. The storefront takes about 30% of every sale before you see a penny, and it pays out a month or two later, so a studio needs cash to cross the gap between finishing and being paid. Video game tax relief and work-for-hire on somebody else's title are what keep the lights on between releases.
