All points well said. You spoke my mind really. I felt the same way. All of the stuff that I've worked on, it's not just so some company can get richer. The story is that we're helping people. They also will likely use our products for a lot longer and get a lot more productive use out of it than any game.

Side note: Didn't Mojang get bought by Microsoft? Are they still considered small? (NOTE: I've not researched this is a serious, not-loaded question..)

Yeah, they did. I'm not sure how independent they are, but they're still around roughly 50 people it seems.

I was just making the point that unless it's essentially you and a couple buddies, profit and revenue is the elephant in the room.

Or the center-piece, depending on how brutally honest management wants to be about it.

Ah, alright, thanks!
