Isn’t that literally everyone who owns digital games? All your shit on Steam is a license to use the software, you don’t actually own any of those games.

I mean, I get the point, cosmetics and such and anything virtual is not tangible in the real world but let’s not pretend we aren’t all doing that with every game we spend money on.

Having said that, the amount of money companies charge for some of this stuff is outrageous. Luckily, nobody is pointing a gun to your head forcing you to buy it!

I miss the old internet, I’m an elder millennial so I grew up with weird old internet stuff. Seeing all sorts of crazy shit too young but by God I loved it.

It’s quite the site for basically (as far as I can tell at least) being a repo for an OS. I do enjoy the insanity of it all.

What movie did you watch? That’s a terrible take on it. I’m not sure how you could even think that’s the message. That’s like literally the opposite of the movie’s message.

That’s awesome, best wishes! Sorry about your medical situation, I get stress/anxiety myself so can commiserate.

I’m not down voting you and I applaud chasing your dreams, but a well paying, stable, fully remote job is not something to give up lightly.

Maybe that’s why people are down voting you? Not that they should but people be people.

Personally, I’m just some schlub on the internet, but I’d strongly advise you to reconsider leaving that kind of financial stability. At the very least you’ll need a pretty good amount of money saved up to live off of. Most indie games aren’t successful, most indie game companies fail. There’s a gigantic risk for you and a huge lost opportunity cost (your income & benefits, particularly benefits like health insurance if you’re in the USA) just to get started and on top of that you have to make something people want to buy.

Not doubting your talents but people would kill to be in your spot (remote, well paid, full time) - I’d think long and hard about the risk you’re accepting.

I do, however, wish you well and hope you succeed beyond your wildest expectations! Just something to chew on.

they should have [thing that already exists]
