Ehhhh… GameDev feedback at its finest. Steam alone makes me want to quit deving.

In less then 2 days, I’ve been called all sort of names. Raging from fagots, to idiots, people telling me to die, people telling me that I am a disgrace to my family, people telling me that my 4yo son should commit suicide having a father like me.

So I started to delete those over-the-edge comments. Guess what? Apparently, I am forbidden from using the tools the Steam is providing me with. I am forbidden from deleting comments under my own Greenlight. At least that’s what people on Steam said. And the outbreak started. So I started talking back.

And that was my next mistake.

Those people are like freaking sharks! The moment they get a smell of blood drop in the water they start swarming around you.

Never in my entire internet life I have encountered so much hostility and hate. Well actually I did. Once, on 4chan /r/. But that’s a place you actually expect to boil with hatred. The worst part is that I am really not in a position to quit. But every particle of me wants to. But GameDev and GD related skills are all I have at this point. And I have a wife and 4yo son. Leaving the stage is not an option.

But bit by bit - I am starting to understand why Phil Fish (Being a total jerk he is) cashed and run after FEZ success. I am starting to hate what supposed to be my dream. I always wanted to make games, even as a kid. I’ve looked upon the game creators as they would be Gods. Ubersmiths of my dreams, which they weave into an interactive medium for me to play with. Being a betatester or getting an autograph was a privilege. And now… Its becoming the other way around.

The players feel like they are doing you a fucking favor that they’ll play your game. Imagine that…

And some part of me really thinks this guy from the comment might be right. At this point, some part of me would actually enjoy a regular job. Even if it would be McDonald’s. And believe me, if I would be alone and without a family - I think I would go for it. But at this moment of my life it can only be the Game Dev. Its the only way to fulfill the dreams of those I love and care for. My only ticket to a better future and a better life for my son. I life, I had no chance to experience. So I’ve came to you, to whine and cry. And after I am done here, writing this - I will go back and take another gulp of this poisonous toxins.

Life sure is fun this day and age.
Isn’t it?

BTW: No, I am not after your pity or advices. Just… wanted to vent. And maybe by doing so - warn people who are going Greenlight of what they might be dealing with.

Kudos
