He's not necessarily wrong. The game is retardedly simple, and even people picking apart his shitty code have said as much. The problem comes if he ever finishes the mess and makes another game programming the same way(which he probably would) that actually has performance demands and wouldn't be able to figure out how to fix the resulting issues.Dude this stupid nigger just said on stream that it would be masturbatory to update to GML 2.0 because the game can "run on a smart fridge", and doesn't need a performance boost. This is the same guy who defended his array because it's "20% faster".
Also not wrong in the sense that he doesn't make money off of it(anymore). He could abandon the game today and sales of the game wouldn't change anything for him, but that's only because his revenue for the past couple of years has been tied to his livestreaming and not game development(that he pretends to do while streaming). If anything, finishing heartbound would only leave him with his minecraft blockgame shit in notepad++ to pretend to be an elite mega indie programmer on stream and would fuck him over as he couldn't realistically come up with another project that wouldn't take another decade to complete. Afterall, he repeatedly claims what's holding up development is the writing of the game, not the programming and he doesn't do any writing on stream(or during his 4 hours of free time a day between fucking ferrets and sleeping).He also said he's not "financially tied" to the game. What a dickhead. Yeah fuck those people who paid for the game in EA.
Yeah, think about that for a moment. Heartbound being finished would ruin his LARP as a game developer for his streaming career.
