"Liking" game development will only carry you so far. Most posters here like the idea of being a game developer far more than they like the act of developing a game. Games require hard work to make, and great games require an neigh insurmountable mountain of hard work to make. Motivation is not enough. You need discipline and unwavering confidence in your own abilities.
"Demoralization" posts are the blackest of blackpills for those who are NGMI, but they are also the whitest of whitepills for those who are GMI, making them the best of both worlds. When you hear something like "great games sell themselves" and "just like make great games", you would only find those demoralizing if you understand deep down that you will never make a great game. If that's the case, sincerely, you should throw in the towel for your own good. However, if you do believe that you're capable of making a great game, what could be more motivating than knowing that so long as you make it, the players will come?
