why did leo hate his game development job

[Ramanujan]

@Leo Gura why did u hate it. arent you passionate about it once. is it because of over work and underpay . i am thinking of being a game dev but i heard that the field is full of overwork and underpay and exploitation of ones passion .

I didn't like it mostly because I am just not suited to being an employee. I am too ambitious and creative to work on someone else's project. So I quit to become my own boss.

I would never work on a game to which I didn't own full IP rights.

I am very particular in this regard so don't let this discourage you.

Are you developing a new game, right?
