Well, that's because bank and medical software usually falls under the "enterprise" umbrella. So, while you may be right that a lot of enterprise software is terrible, there are projects in said enterprises that work great and for which people developing them care a lot. You generalized, so he/she struck back with a general statement.

Wait, I'm generalising?

silverbax88 interpreted my

"I don't know about the enterprise area"

to mean

"Yes, everyone who works on software for any company other than gaming doesn't "really care" at all"

And I'm the one jumping to conclusions?

All I know is I've yet to meet someone in gamedev who doesn't care about the product they're working on. Probably because the pay is much lower for the same level of skill as elsewhere, so you won't find anyone doing it for the money. Have I met software developers in other areas who don't give a crap? Lots. Have I met ones who care? Also lots. None of this contradicts anything I've said.
