I think it's always tricky to look at history, and we tend to generalize and stereotype in order to create a mental pictue that helps us to "understand" a situation. Running a company probably requires dozens of decisions per day (or at least per week) and one bad decision could wipe out the effects of a hundred good ones. Of course TSR moved from a personal hobby to a money-maker, but that doesn't mean anything bad in itself. When I go to work in the morning I do so because I love teaching kids, but I probably wouldn't bother to do it if they didn't pay me. 
Anyway, I try to stay away from those discussions about why TSR failed and who did what to whom. It just angers people and I don't have any real firsthand knowledge so I would just be parroting something told to me by someone else who probably didn't have firsthand knowledge, either. :oops:
