The video game industry is something where if you have kids you need to go "Look, I know you like video games, but everyone does -- and everyone wants to make them. So if you're going to get into them, you're going to have to be willing and able to be more insane than the next guy to get in. If you succeed and it's a huge company, then congratulations you're probably spending 4 years on swarm simulations for the ravens on different levels. If you succeed and it's a tiny company, then congratulations you're probably working a normal job on the side anyway."

Every teenage boy thinks he wants to be a game developer or a porn star, but those are monkey's paw wishes right there.

@sj_zero It's a really fun hobby but if you have the skills to do it as a job you also have the skills to do any other development job for five times the money and one tenth the stress.
