This is a great example of the fallacy that if you like games and can program a game, you can be a game developer and get any traction. Programming isn't really the hard part, and it gets easier every day. It is true if you can do something technically bleeding edge you will be sought after by game companies and other companies as well.
Imagine:
I have liked movies my whole life. I read that Paranormal Activity was made by a guy with a video camera and very little money. So I thought I would get a camera and become a film maker. Surprisingly, it didn't work.
- jrochkind1 9y agoSure it did (in your hypothetical story). You made a film, you're a film maker. Oh, you wanted to get rich?
- patrickg_zill 9y agoIf you made a film, then you're a film maker. But success in films and in games, is not evenly distributed.
