I appreciate games so much more now

This was an EXCELLENT read, and one that offers such interesting insight into the world of video game creation. People online are constantly telling game companies what games they should make next, what sequel they want to see, throwing straight up fits because they didn't like something in a particular game, going on rants about whatever character, going on rants about games not coming out quickly enough, etc... It's a REALLY toxic community of fans (to the point where I worked for a video game store up until today when I quit to get away from the customer base).

I have such a huge respect for every single person who even touches the game creation process, but that has increased ten times over after reading this.
