    Trying to get over your work related burnout through doing more work - is probably the dumbest AND worst idea I’ve heard in a while. Why would anyone do that other than that they’re in a kind of pathological denial or hace unresolved issues driving such behavior.

    It’s irrational.

      You are completely jumping to the conclusion that he has not done anything else to deal with that burnout. What do you think the solution is to burnout, never working again?

      He could have also taken the time not working to deal with and recover from it before deciding he wanted to explore those themes in his next game when he did start working on one again.

        Literally yes, it’s part of why art is sublime. All emotions are irrational to some extent.
