You have put yourself out there and published a game. The fame, money and problems come along with that naturally. If you learn to deal with it now, you might be more successful in the future, but if you back off now there is not chance of progress.

You assume this "progress" is desirable. Maybe the guy would prefer to take his app store millions and retire in peace. :P

His twitter comments would disagree with that.

He won the lottery. He didn't develop something meaningful. That must be rough. Imagine if you hacked together a "hello world" program, and it made you a millionaire. Wouldn't that kinda suck?

[deletes]

I don't think the helloworld analogy is correct. The game is simple but not trivial. .

Intentionally or not, he made something that most millions of people enjoy, to me that seems to be a pretty good accomplishment.

Even so, there's a point of fame/money/success beyond which most people are uncomfortable.

Look at lottery winners. I would certainly not want to win the lottery, because most winners end up having a terrible life.

Also, lots of people enjoy shooting things, but being the inventor of the gun must have been a pretty heavy burden. Just because something is enjoyable, doesn't necessarily mean it's "good" overall...
