I was waltzing through my Reddit feed and saw this AMA. I immediately knew exactly who you were because of your grand kids. How's that for recognition?

Since, that is probably not a proper question, let me ask you instead, how does being recognized for your work feel? (Especially as a hobbyist developer with what I presume is a very small marketing budget.)

I'm glad you are taking the time to do this AMA and in my mind, you are absolutely one of the cool kids.

Why on earth would you think it's okay to be as rude as you just were?

There was absolutely no call for that. You are not owed anything. You should apologize. I will also add, that whether a game developer by trade or a game developer by hobby, putting in the time and effort to create and release a game, much less a series of games, is an accomplishment all of its own.

Unless you change your attitude and learn to treat people with a basic level of respect, you are in for a bumpy ride trying to get a job and then remain employed in any industry.

Edit: A word

I got the reference. Apparently she released the game and it's on Steam. As humorous and educational that thread was, the fact that the game was eventually released and has some pretty decent reviews is nothing short of amazing. And inspirational.

(Still a funny reference though.)

Remember that '100% Science Based Dragon MMO'? Its finally out!

The original thread was from 4 years ago if you can believe it!
