While we venerate the few folks that brought their creative works to life at any cost, I wonder how many people don't achieve their dreams due to their own self-imposed barriers (not wanting to fairly implement pricing). I've been thinking a lot about the board game industry for the same reason: design is fun and flashy, business is for specialized folks (read: not designers). I wonder if we've specialized too far?
We should sit down and figure out the equation to luck + exceptionalism + perseverance + ethics that produce successful games. Can’t be that hard 🫠
A tough formula to crack, but we alas must persist!
