I mean, putting aside the fact that paying rent is what the day job is for, this is a ridiculous ideal. Can you name any indie who is losing money in game dev but continues to do it for gaming's sake?
Most indie devs. It's the reason a lot of games (Which are never intended for the vast majority of people. Hence GSB and Hotline Miami existing).
Team Meat is a good example, they didn't develop Super Meat Boy for people, even though it was made to be played by people.
FTL's developers, Subset Games, also continue to make games, for the sake of making games.
Noir Syndrome's developer is also doing it for fun, and using the money to keep a roof over his head to make more games.
That was an over-exaggeration, but the point still stands. Indie devs can easily end up extremely scared (New ones especially) of getting harassed half to death because the characters did not fit the parameters of a group of people.If we agree, why do you claim develops misjudge angry rants with good ideas and will stop having characters?
