very true, but I think that for true convenience both plans must be integrated. the diesel generator takes a moment+ to get started so we need the UPSs in place to make sure we never notice that the power is out.
personally I would use UPS in everyday life if I had the money and the space, wouldn't it be great, throw your TV/DVD player on UPS and watch fight club during a blackout, not have to worry about the milk spoiling in the fridge. UPS for the house lighting. Though I think the beeping would have to be disabled and replaced with disco balls for the power outage warning.
All game publishers work like this, you can get a salary at an established game dev studio and the publishers will pay known quantities at mile stones. For any new company, or any company that only has a few games under thier belt, they build the game and then get paid for it. Usually a flat fee not a percentage of the whole.
important side note, 70% of revenue NOT profits, I have worked in the gaming industry before (Nexon.net and QA for Sony CEA PS2). That is a really good deal from what I have seen.

umm... UPS is not the issue, I would have to assume that you are using UPS on any system with RAID....
