Dwarf Fortress creator blasts execs behind brutal industry layoffs: 'I think they're horrible… greedy, greedy people'
Tarn Adams doesn't mince words when it comes to the dire state of the games industry.

No surprises here really. The creators of dwarf fortress are incredibly passionate about their game. It just happened to become successful. The AAA game industry is the exact opposite.
They basically made it while living in poverty because they refused to charge for it for the first 10 years. I donated for a few years and got drawings for my money. Great game and great people.
Reminds me of the glorious thread on the steam community page. Somebody was suspicious of all the sudden positive reviews.
I literally bought a copy for all my friends. I don’t think any of them played it though :(.
Trying to think what the opposite of that is.
Passionate about being successful. Just happened to make game?
Dispassionate about game, passionate about making money of it.
Yeah, the corporate heads could have ended up in any industry, they don't care where the money comes from.
Haha i think you got it right
