&gt; How often have I wished I could at least see the age of someone when reading through comments.<p>I don&#x27;t know if age is as useful as something like list of projects, publications, or contributions. Something to denote saying &quot;yes - this guy has been down the path I have and released it&#x27;s a dead end&quot; rather than just spewing what he learned in class or some random article on the internet.<p>Someone laughed at me on reddit when I told them you didn&#x27;t need a lot of money to make a good game (as you can outsource if you need to - trust me there is someone in India who is willing to create that sprite sheet for less than $20 versus your artist friend would charge $200+). They claimed you needed like $X million. An obvious counter-example would be Terraria - I know not everyone likes it but I think it&#x27;s a pretty successful and well put together game. It was made by 2 guys sitting in a home office somewhere. I asked him how many games he worked on - I believe he responded with, if I remember correctly, 3.
