I think I'm getting annoyed at the way you're framing it that the indie game development would be relaxing. Why assume that the commenter would want as their goal to make a game that nobody wants to play?
Why assume they are saying "I am sure I would make no money", when it could be "I can't be sure that I would make enough money"?
Assume they want to make a game that people like, then it becomes volunteer work that has economic value, in as much as people often pay for games they like.
> "Again, the issue is them wanting to be supported by others. Taking, but not providing when you can. If they can completely sustain themselves, that's great."
Curious if you also take this view about shareholders and land owners and such?
