⁓ maybe problem with ed game dev is that you're tempted to keep terrible prototypes because they fulfill the "ed" part

as in:

• not chocolate-covered broccoli is the problem, but the problem is that making games is really hard, and most games are terrible. But instead of accepting ~ game dev is a search for the best possible game you can make, you instead keep your currently terrible game and just ship, because hey, after all, the educational part is included
