My video game hot take: Everyone making some sort of game or contributing to making one, released or not, a success or not, regardless of scale or role is a game dev and I respect the hell out of you.

Every time I buy a game in early access I am working as a game dev and should be compensated fairly

thanks bro

Gamedev is so shit on all the time and I hate it. It takes long hours, difficult work, and a very sharp mind and typically after a game launches, that's when the layoffs happen.

100%. The unspoken hero’s of the games success. Every part that’s played is critical!

The idea that this should be considered a hot take is ludicrous because games always have been (with exception to solo devs, who are just as valid) massive collabrative efforts and only elitist prats consider any core part of its development "Not game dev"

Abolish the lazy devs myth 😎👍

Thank you Robert. 😁

Absolutely this. It's not something to gatekeep. We should embrace people being allowed to express themselves
