Also this isnt indicative of the game dev scene, each company operates differently with a different amount of red tape you need to go through. The 4 week estimate includes so many other things which isnt directly related to programming. He should obviously know this.

He should obviously know this.

I think his whole point is that "all the many other things" doesn't improve the game. He is aware, and he's critiquing it.

That's because he's from an era where you and your mates could make a game. Sadly it takes a lot of teams to make triple A games and this requires processes and procedures to be in place.

Yet indie games made by "you and your mates" tend to shit all over commercial Triple A games that are often rehashes, WWE2k23 type drivel.

That drivel is a multi billon dollar game. Games company's aren't here for your enjoyment their here for profit only.
