Companies never develop anything for the "common good" - they develop to generate revenue.

Only a non-profit of some kind would ever develp for the "common good."

That's ridiculous.

And its too easy of a cop out answer too.

You are confused....simply because someone wants to make a profit to earn a living doesn't automatically means profit is the sole driving force to why they started their business.

I love computer games and PC hardware...If good fortune fell on me -- say winning the lotto so I could leave the corporate world and start my own business....doing something I really enjoy -- I could be honestly motivated to provide better service and support as well as a higher quality product for fellow PC gamers....that wouldn't be me not doing anything for the common good.

Getting compensated for honest work is NOT bad and does not mean you have no other motivations for doing business.
