Master Spy Post-Mortem - We didn't make a million dollars on Steam (But that's okay)

I'm an idiot who used to work in one of the world's top game-publishers, on multi-million-selling titles, sitting in the same office-section as the people who did the financial projections for our indie-games (where we were funding teams anywhere from 2 people up to 30 people). I worked with them on projects we funded, and ones we cancelled.

This doesn't impress me. Your position at a company that released horribly stupid games is irrelevant of your intelligence. i.e. An idiot is still an idiot regardless of how big he puffs up his chest.

Also, I'd honestly believe you were lying if it were not for the fact that morons are fully capable of working at "professional businesses". After all, look at all the shitty releases that make a profit!

You're also wrong on the whole "History of Accountancy." It's irrelevant what you think or say, the logic is inconsistent and irrational. You cannot include non-relative costs and lump them in with relative costs.

If I had you a donut for free, it cost you $0. What is the cost of that donut to you? $0. Does it matter how much it cost me, when calculate how much it costs for you? Nope.

That is as simple as I can explain it. If you don't get it then, you won't ever get it. Then again... you are apparently someone with 15 years of games industry, yet one of the stupidest most incorrect people I've ever had the misfortune of reading. Not just this comment, but all of your comments.

It makes me think you're just lying, except that I believe you. Some of the dumbest people I've ever read in this sub claimed similar to what you claim (that they are veterans of the industry)...so honestly it's not out of this world to see "old timers" with horrible perspectives and irrational stances. Meanwhile your peers and superiors say the opposite, which makes sense given their success.

TLDR: Logic > "Accountancy" + 15 years of experience that are meaningless in relation to being a rational, logical thinker.
