No business could survive without being interested in $$$. And no sensible business wouldn't be in it for the $$$.
But to lump the souls of all members of a company into being interested in only $$$ is foolish. I take it you've never been to a Macromedia-sponsored event; met any of the amazing engineers, artists or designers that put these products together. I absolutely know for a fact that 99% of the people that work for Macromedia get up every morning wondering "what else can I do to make this a more kick-ass product", not "how else can we suck more dollars out of our customer's pockets without giving them something in return". I think you need to go read up on Capitalism a little more. It ain't that bad.
