The only thing "curious" about this situation is that we've arrived at a place culturally where non-"exponential" success is held as somehow less-than. In tech we derisively call these "lifestyle businesses", as though somehow quietly producing things people want to buy at a level that makes you comfortable is a moral bad, lacking as it is in the "change-the-world" narrative so many startups tell themselves.

Meanwhile, I caught a trailer for Broken Age, decided it would be fun to sit with my toddler and play, and have been enjoying it immensely. Sure, it's not pushing the state of the art in graphics, procedural content, AI, or the medium in general, but it's beautiful, charming, and exudes craftsmanship in ways that many other "game-changers" do not.

Keep on keepin' on, Tim.

Yes, this. I should be so lucky to build a 'lifestyle business', some kind of stable enterprise that is the livelihood of 10-20 people.
