A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

but that's not true. people make things all the time without being paid.
"snake game" returns over one hundred twenty thousand results on github.
you're moving the goalposts.
you never mentioned 'quality' until you wanted to disqualify data that didn't support your position.
this is rich coming from someone who is moving the goal posts.
the plural of "anecdote" is not "data"
your insistence on relevance is giving the lie to your denial about moving the goalposts.
this doesn't prove anyone ever needs to be paid to make something. a single counter example disproves the claim.
github shows a hundred thousand repositories for the query "hangman". assuming 10% of them are false positives it's still a great number.
there are over one hundred fifty thousand results on github for "tictactoe".
just how many paid games do you think there are, by the way?
