I can't say I fully agree on this point. I was listening to an interview with Tony Zurovec (the lead designer for the Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret series that made him a bit of a legend), and he talks about how he had this really great, enticing vision for a game with such a solid concept that he could never let go. And I'm sure he playtested it and everything, but he never radically changed any of his core ideas, so to say that people are bad at predicting what will be fun may not necessarily be true for everyone. I'm a bit skeptical as to whether you can really generalize that statement to all game developers. Generalizing is usually something that you should be careful about!

Well he's leaving to become an accountant... so for SC2 purposes, he is dead.

But I wish him best in his new career, counting numbers. Good luck Day9... maybe you can host a daily show on how to adjust your balance sheets.

So is day9 retiring or not? I don't like watching interview videos, the pace is too slow. its much faster to simply read the transcript. that's why i've always preferred reading the news to passively watching the news.

anyway to work at an accounting firm you need a degree in accounting. day9 did not study accounting so i'm guessing this is a terribad troll attempt.

as for games being fun or not, of course its impossible to predict how popular something will be. also, fun and challenging are often times at odds with one another. most of today's games have been dumbed down to cater to the lowest common denominator, aka the console kiddies. example. The vetrans of the fighting game community loved street fighter 2: super turbo. it requires precise execution, knowledge of spacing, frame data, and matchups. The OGs hate sf4 because it dumbed everything down. but sf4 has taken off because it has "fun" pretty graphics and flashy supers. Likewise, guys like me who grew up playing the vs series think marvel vs capcom 2 is a masterpiece that suited multiple play styles from precise zoning keepaway games to fast paced mixups into difficult to execute combos. ditto mvc1 and xvsf. mvc3 ruined all that by giving everyone brain dead ez mode 100% combos. but mvc3 is more popular and "fun"

fun != high skill ceiling

Yes, because every single person in an accounting firm is a CPA. This is proof you have absolutely zero idea what you are talking about, so you should probably keep quiet.

Accounting firms do more than just audit financials. Larger firms (Big 4 like Deloitte, KPMG) and smaller firms all have huge consulting arms that do tons of stats and analysis. There are tons of maths/stats/engineers/comp scientists/ non-stem people working at almost every accounting firm. Source: I'm a compsci non-accountant who used to work at a Big-4 accounting firm with maybe 50% accountants.

Your post is so dumb, I'll assume it's a terribad troll attempt. Or you're functionally mentally disabled. I'll go with both.

oh wow you must be one of those "alpha nerds" who tries to correct people all the time on technicalities in a pathetic attempt to look smart. you're probably hitting f5 on forums, just waiting for the first chance to correct somebody in some attempt to validate their sad existence.

whoop tee doo there are people who work at accounting firms who don't do accounting. WOW there are janitors who work at google and financial analysts who work at mcdonalds. so what? when people say they work at an accounting firm, the default assumption is they are an ACCOUNTANT UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE. either this is a terribad counter troll attempt or you are functionally socially inept because you alienate everyone with your over alpha nerd aggressiveness in real life. either that or you hide behind anonymity and are actually weak, passive and submissive nerd in real life. i'm not sure which one is more sad.

EDIT: actually i just realized your name is forever-alone so I'm going to assume the latter. there's a reason you don't have any friends.
