why would he do that

my plan is to spam friendslop until i get rich and can afford to retire and then spend the rest of my time working on artistic passion projects

the key to making a big game is to find a balance between individual passion and market viability

jobbydevs like marnix struggle because their games are theoretically viable based on market research but lack the passion to be unique experiences
they create generic games that they have no desire to aggressively promote and thus receive mediocre results

on the other hand you have freaks like fygoon who make hyperpassionate extremely niche works of art that, unfortunately, only appeal to themselves and quite literally nobody else

i'd say somebody like branno does a good job of mixing unique ideas rooted in passion and market data for viable products, healed to death was unique but still enjoyable - encroaching upon the territory of being a bit *too* unique for its own good

the luckiest devs are slop consumer normies who somehow managed to learn how to make games
they have the passion for shit that sells

if you refuse to abandon your passion project but still hope to make money, your best bet is to build a community of supporters on discord and have them give your game the initial support it needs to gain momentum
this is exactly what nubby's did, and it worked
