That might have worked then. Not so sure nowadays. The work ethic was different back then.
Edit: I didn’t realize the can of worms I opened up. Hopefully it stirs a little bit of constructive conversation. I realize I have an unpopular opinion here. That’s ok. I wish all of you a prosperous and content life. I’m not here to stir up hate. I simply expressed my opinion. I’ve learned a little about how passionate some of you are about this topic. I never thought I would start such a hornet’s nest.
Small teams being allowed to do what they want can still give good results, but you aren’t going to see that at major companies. I almost solely play indie games by micro or solo dev teams.
It’s amazing what happens when management leave Devs alone to do actual work instead of calling SCRUM bullshit.

I was there in the 90s. Working full time. There was a noticeable difference in the work ethic from then to today.

It kinda just sounds like cool and interesting people don’t want to hang out with you. I wonder why.
I have a loving family and a decent job. I have everything I need. I can count the friends I have on one hand.

That’s a great point. I do support indie games when I enjoy them. Not a fan of the micro transaction slop that huge publishers are pushing
You could also afford to work on failed projects because houses and healthcare costed two acorns and a peanut.
Did you forget the /s?
No this was a completely unironic old man “kids these days!” rant.
