Having watched a significant amount of the hand made hero series (the closest I’ll get to writing games) i’m more inclined to side with the grandparent on this one.

Game dev can be just hardcore programming juggling everything from euler equations to hardware performance budgeting.

Sure you can take the view this are just constraints in a problem solving exercise.

Or it’s highly skilled programming. I fall on the latter view for sure.
