I'm only a hobbyist, but I had dreams of being a professional game developer like 20 years ago. The idea of making other people's games for as long as he's been in the industry, finally getting that dream project approved, and having it end as just a statistic? That would hurt in a unique way. I'm sure not being able to do it for decades, and seeing so many other projects die, he's got a callous in the topic... And I'm sure it's happened more often than dream projects getting made. But thats still kinda sucks.
