Nice article - I feel ya on the sunk cost fallacy. I worked on a game for a year and some change after launch that was making me pocket money at best.
I much prefer non-game related projects because you can launch them faster in most cases. That said, I hope to get back to gamedev, even just a hobbyist.
Great article Dylan, thanks for sharing! Reminded me of these quotes which I try to keep front of mind:
Thanks @chr15m. It was actually a pretty amazing day. I posted it to HN and got on the front page for quite some time. I'll post the full story on IH soon.
