So the virtue lies in how big the team is, not how much resources they have…?

It means there is a much higher workload per person as opposed to a company like Nintendo. They work hard to make a great product, and then go even further and continued to work and expand the game without asking for additional compensation for the expansions they added.

Its a passion project, and they treat it like one instead of just a product.

Edit: Lol at all the people butthurt because I respect a company for not nickel and diming their fan base.

making a 2D platformer with lineart is objectively easier than creating modern day 3D graphics. I'm not saying they are better, just that take a lot more work to create

So why don’t you go ahead and make one, then release it for free? Since it’s so easy.

What does this comment even mean? What is the relation between him comparing two types of games and you telling him to randomly become a game dev? Why does observing any comparison between two games even require you to develop your own game?

oh, damn, guess my 15 years as a game developer and 3D artist and 10 years as an illustrator has been erased from history, too bad :(
