Congratulations, you've just invented being a Hollywood Producer.

Incidentally, I did actually have a high school friend who worked his way up from schlub coder at EA to lead developer at Zynga to indie development at his own studio and is now an Executive Producer at Riot Games. Dude has some legitimate good ideas and I hope he's able to put them into action. But its a long walk and plenty of very bright and talented people never make it to the top entirely thanks to the whims of the investor class.
