Insert “Why not both?” meme here.
I think Genuine Robberts is genuinely failing to make a genuine game. I also think that both Robberts learned the wrong lessons about what “success” looks like during his failed attempt to make it big in Hollywood. Robberts genuinely thinks that Hollywood Accounting is what he’s due, hiring big name actors for voice acting (they have one of the best VAs playing
himself) and having huge offices in the most expensive areas is what “successful” people do, and micromanaging is what “successful” developers do.
