my personal beef with ICSTOR is that he desperately needs help, he is bagging tens of thousands of dollars, but he refuses to hire help. it's not like his games have complex stories. the plot in this game is exactly the same as every other game he ever made; horny teenage boy wants to bang his family, teachers, etc, and they all submit. the end. he can hire literally anyone to write the generic dialogue for his 2 dimensional characters. there are zero story branches so he can hire any basic programmer to write the code. he can speed up the process immensely and reduce stress on himself. but apparently he just wants to sit on all the money.
end rant, for now.
When I studied economy in highschool our book had a lovely metaphor, "the secretary and the advocate".
So the advocate has a job that makes X amount of money, this job is hindered by some smaller tasks that slow him from performing his main job and making that money. So he hires a secretary, the secretary is paid Y money, but because she does those smaller tasks the advocate can focus on his job and make more money.
Now here's another case, a friend of mine, dropped out of school to get into programming and web design, he gradually over the years climbed the ladder, while working as a freelance mostly and slowly forming his company, but was always pestered with phone calls sometimes even on Sunday and always on Saturday, now after many years he managed to hire the right people under him so that he still works but without feeling burned out.
Imagine a marathon, look at seasoned runners you don't see them running at their fastest from start to finish do you?
