Not that i am making useful software i just want to do it
>Why is this?
Working on video games sounds cool because video games
Also there is very few amount of people actually making video games, GitHub only has shitty games on there if there was a lot, github would have been like a GPL Steam
blocklist.zip. anon here, I want to write my own physics engine.. I would like a masters in physics if possible..but money is a hard problem from pursuing what I want to do, I wish I could be a chad like https://bellard.org/ and just do the shit that I Want to do :/
Isn't it the other way around?
Personally I have way more respect for people developing serious productivity software (not webdev) than I do for game developers

At the end of the day it is just a more fun project. You can spend all day trying to come up with an idea for a useful piece of software that hasn't already been invented, or you can make a video game.
>useful software
No such thing.
Used to be that video game development drove innovation in other sectors of software.
You don't do useful software in Z80 assembly
You do if you intend to run it on a Z80
A Z80 is not useful
What a silly thing to say. It'll do the same things it did when it was new, just as well.
Yep, but it's not suitable for the money wahaha shit OP is saying
because one is aimed at tech people and the other is aimed at morons, morons are more likely to pay for shit
Entertainment is a use.
What possible useful software could still be needed? It's all been written 1000 times over.
Fizzbuzz
An Android app that changes your clothes
If you jack off to your own videogame, than it can also be useful

>useful software
People have been trying to make video games for computers as soon as they started becoming viable enough to do so. Look at Pong.
>hes not in the entertainment busyness
Coding software is for monkeys, coding games is fun.
useful software is about roughly as tedious to make as games
>why do people like art?
op is an npc
>BING BING WAHOO!
that's why
>Gaymez
People want to make their dream projects. It's only gonna be an app if they think it's it's gonna make alotta $$$
Isn't it the other way around?

Since OP used a soijack he probably agrees with you.

because video games bring money and useful software doesn't, especially when its "open" source
