Really honest letter that is simultaneously an apology and an explanation, without making excuses.
I wonder if more experienced game developers could have recognized the failure much further down the track and pulled the plug (or taken on a lot more funding?) before it took the company under. I also wonder, if this undertaking had been made in the US, would the outcome have been any different due to different... I dunno, funding laws or more available funding from traditional investors?
Was the completeness of the failure of GRIN down to the fact they spent way more money than they had trying to prove a point (don't need to do pixel or highly stylized art) ?
The game industry is interesting to me because of the nature of the problems they have to solve, but it is so damn brutal I don't want any part of it.
