In some cases you don't build the killer game first, but instead build
something easier, and less risky. Get the interest of an investor or
publisher and sell it to make as much as you can quickly. Then use the
proceeds to self publish your next title. There are a lot of sensible
business reasons to not always try and do it all yourself, and professional
publishing can provide a startup new opportunities they'd otherwise never
get. If anyone looked at my website they'd see two titles. Both using the
same technology, but one easier, and less risky to build and support.
