        Thanks for the occasional wakeup call haha. With all these engines and tools these days I go into drooling dev mode sometimes.

        If I do ever decide to make a game I'll definitely try to make it something managable and on the side haha. (said probably every dev ever)

        Cliff doesn't lie. Remember you are doing this because you must. It's practically vanity publishing these days.

        Joking aside, I'm very aware of this as I watch my client base change yearly. Very few people last more than one game.

        90% fail. Always been the math. And the 10% that survive, well, that’s a super exponential curve from breaking even to Ferraris.
