I don't think 'getting out of games and making movies' is the business model Max is talking about.

From what I know, Lorne's vision of storytelling is one where a movie tells the main story and games are there to compliment the story, either before or after. The thing he's very serious about is that the complimenting game's production ties in a lot with the movies production, possibly having the projects side by side and released around the same date so that certain resources like voice actors and writers can be used for both projects instead of just one. That does wonders for effeciency and saving money, but also for the final product which should be a lot better than the cheap 'games based on movies' crap we've become accustomed to.

That's OWI's new business model as far as I know, but it's not really a surprise that it's hard to find investors for something that new and untried.
