Stop
telling people about how horrible the games industry is. Stop telling them that
they can’t succeed without radical industry changes. It’s bunk and you should
know better. Are you intentionally trying to discourage people from getting
into the industry? Stop telling people that life in the games industry
universally sucks. Maybe it sucks for you. It doesn’t suck for me and I don’t
think it sucks for a lot of people.

Matt Mihaly with a far, far better rebutal of the Burning Down The House GDC session than I could ever write.  Not that I want this discussion to turn into a huge blog bun fight, but the guy does make some good points. Bit of a monster comments section there too if you really fancy a long read.
