Hell, yeah. I ran into this all the fucking time back when I took creative writing courses. "Well, you shouldn't be wasting your time on science fiction..." According to who, now? Why am I obligated to write what you consider valid?

In this case it's like "you must do your writing in public! For the good of the community!"

Whatever. I write in public for purely marketing reasons, to build buzz on my games. Otherwise I could care less.

OK, that's not entirely true. I like the positive feedback I get, too. Helps motivate me.

Yeah, I just don't get the thing where I'm like "So I'm working on this game that addresses this in way X" and someone's like "Where? If I can't see it right now it has no value!"

Promotion is fine. Entitlement is not.

This is more echo chamber, but yeah, I write games for me. It's way to much effort for a meager reward to do for any other reason.

Share your best stuff for free? Why in gods' names would you do that?

Ok, I can see a bunch of reasons, but only if they're valid for you.

What? No. Stupid.
