Funny story. I wanted to make video games, until I learned all about the prerequisites to do it.
You might think I balked and bailed. But the reality is I found out that the stuff that goes into making a modern AAA video game is way more interesting than the resulting product.
I now consider wanting to make video games a negative indicator of ever actually doing so professionally, even if the person understands the requirements to do so.
Especially if they understand them in fact.
- dkersten 14y agoNot too different to what happened to me. I'm now technical cofounder of a machine learning heavy analytics startup. I still think about making games sometimes, but then I go back to thinking about and working on data mining and machine learning and I don't regret a thing :)
