You'd like to think that, but there's a lot of people who got into gaming for the wrong reasons (making a lot of money. Fame) and not the right reason (I want to make something awesome that people enjoy).

There are definitely good people in the industry, but there are a number of devs (designers and managers) who only care about the bottom line or money. They'll think huge profits mean they'll get massive bonuses, and ignore how the product will be received. It's not the investors, but involving the wrong people in the process.
