Steam and other digital storefronts should only allow professional developers to sell games

If we’re going that way, then why not $100k? If you have a team of 10 people over 10 years, then it’s just 1k / year / person. How hard can that be, right?

No. Game development is not expensive. It can be expensive. But it can also be inexpensive. Depends on the game.
Let’s see how much it costs for a skilled hobbyist dev: computer + steam fee + time = $1000 + $100 + 0 = $1100. Not so expensive, after all.

Why even bother then? Ok guys, you heard him, turn off your computers and get a real paying job.

What indie dev wants to develop a game like BF2? Everyone. But, only those delusional “mmorpg type of guys” that never developed a game and have no skill are trying to make the next CoD or BF.

Now, Mr. splattenburgers, are you for any chance a pro game dev?

are you being sarcastic ?
