Yeah it was flooded with shovelware. But I’m not talking about people who want to publish asset flips for a quick buck.

I’m talking about all of the people out there who have ever tried to make a game or never got started because it was too hard. In my CS cohort years ago, pretty much everyone there got into programming originally because they wanted to make a game.

Games definitely have the highest ratio of I want to make a game to I have made a game of any type of software. If it was suddenly easy to make “your game”, Steam would explode.
