Luck? Not even close. There's a ton of effort required to build enough of a backing to make a go of this type of development.
True dat. Nobody gets "lucky" to make it big without hard work and without proving what he's got, but I guess that in our case we can call this small group of individuals who fuck knows why are still getting paid for not doing anything or for getting bored of their projects really lucky bois but also very clever businessmen. Yeah, they lucky to have... an interesting fanbase.
You see the difference between Philly and most of the devs
RC-1138 Boss ?? I don't mean to insult the rest of the devs in the business, there's devs that work their asses off for their fans, I'm just stating obvious facts, like everybody else. IIRC Philly said it himself that at some point he wanted to abandon DA, it didn't make money. So yeah, hard work and dedication do the job. Without stuff like that there wouldn't have been a Michael Jordan, a LeBron James, a Leo Messi, a Cristiano Ronaldo etc. (name your favorite). They all started from the bottom and reached the top. Add our boi Philly to the list.
I 100% agree with everything these fine gentlemen said, plus even Philly had it rough in the beginning. Just listen to

that he made for his fans, not to mention how tiring this work is for him (and for devs in general).
Even this sites favorite punching bag ICSTOR has a steady stream of patreons. That isn't by accident and the disdain here has NO bearing on his income.
Well said again. If there wasn't an f95 website, ICSTOR and Scamdrop would be jobless or they'd be having a normal job like everybody else, even worse, they'd actually work. Professionalism and communication are the other aspects you should add next to a successful AND serious dev, scammers aside.
So if anybody else want to call ppl like Philly lucky just bcz they know how to be professionals and know how to the their job, go ahead, they lucky, but I hope u realize that winning a shitload of money JUST by being a lucky dude is the kinda shit that happens only at lottery. RL doesn't reward u if u have nothing to show !!
