Add to this that John Blow is such an exemplar of the entrepreneurial spirit that this site has basically its foundational value.
The guy worked in the rat race for awhile, saved a modest amount to self-fund building Braid. Braid smashed every record both commercially and critically for what one guy in a garage could do in games.
He took all that money, hired a few people carefully, and built The Witness, not on fucking Unity or something, but from the shaders up so that it would have a unique look and not be a clone of something else. The Witness was also a huge commercial and critical success.
His most recent project is, uh, ambitious. I don’t know if it’s going to prove feasible. But I’m sure as hell rooting for success rather than failure.
Now mostly this is directed at the auth or the post, but you’ve kind of signed up for a little of this: what the fuck is your CV?
