René Martin @talkandplay.substack.com · Jun 4 One thing I find annoying about game dev is that we have this need to pretend that no one can be bad at it. Not in the ‘anyone can make games’ way but in the ‘how dare you say the devs are bad at their jobs’ way. Not every failed game has a tragic backstory to blame for its failure.

Like there are a Lot of trashy indie horror games, there was no ‘failure of management’ at fault for them and few if any of the actually bad ones had budget overruns. The developers just sucked at their jobs. No tragic failures despite heroic efforts, just incompetence and hackery.
what the hell is that original post talking about fnaf had amazing art design
I’m not sure why this imaginary bad dev annoys you? Like… somebody else making a bad game doesn’t diminish the pool of good games to be made.
