I genuinely believe he just wants to make cool and fun games.

He's had all the time, money, and resources to do that and hasn't.

I don't think that :/ I think his statements and the games he chooses to back sort of prove that ultimately profit is what he is interested in. I don't blame him for that. But don't make him out to be what he isn't. He is a CEO first, being a fan of games falls lower on the list.
