I'm not complaining about porn games, I'm complaining about people who think porn games need something more than what they are.
I think you are misunderstanding my point. Any artistic endeavour is an artistic endeavour, be it mona lisa or game making and sometimes, you just don't want to do it. At least with Mona Lisa's you can gain praise from the public. No one's gonna pat your back from making a game 100,000 spank it to. It's not motivating to you no matter how much money it might make you if you want to be known for something more. Don't get me wrong, it can be a great financial boon, but working for anything porn related really doesn't motivate your creativity and it can make you hate life.
I think he's more than capable of handling it, the question is, does he want to keep bothering with it. Besides money, there really is no motivation to make something you don't care about and won't stroke your ego, no matter how much money it makes you. If anything that should motivate you to hire someone to do the work, but people aren't always the most logical of creatures.
I know you don't know him, it's a point about we have no idea what's going through the guys life. And unless we do, all we can do is speculate.
The only reason he should quit is if he wants to. None of us should have any impact on that, but alas, we do. Nothing like finding a hundred pages of people talking about your work to fuck with your head and ego. Just one wrong comment and he could say fuck it all and disappear. That's sadly the reality of the situation. Still, he hasn't so why do you want him to just stop?
Mediocre performance suggest he knows how to do better. Do we have any proof he does? I get ragging SS on that because DC is apparently a game maker, but is GS?
Working as a team could work, but when you're a solo operation, bringing in another person doesn't always work and having it go bad can end everything. Some people simply aren't team players or don't work well in that environment. It sucks, but that's just the way it is sometimes.
You call it excuses, I call it an understanding of working with artist and creators. There is no formula. They aren't machines, they are people, and people don't always do the best or smartest of things. I get why GS does what he does because I've seen it before in other mediums. He's not special, he's just another person now dealing with demands from other people and he probably didn't expect what he's getting. Being a content creator in today's world is such a nightmare situation.
