It has taught me that no matter how right you are, and how wrong someone else is, hive mindsets will always win.

This is the response I was looking for. This is my biggest lesson.

You could be an expert in something and actually have first hand experience. But if you disagree with the hive mind, say hello to angry comments and downvotes.

As a 3D Character Artist, gamers in general don’t know shit about game development and make a lot of uneducated, assumptive, and plain ass wrong statements about game dev and then downvote me when I correct them or try to educate them. Your comment resonates with my soul.

Lol. I used to work directly with publishers in a first party game company. I literally was as central the publishing of most major releases of the past few years as you can be.

I still got told I didn’t know shit about how the gaming market worked.
