Hah! He knows what he's doing better than anyone here thinks. Here we are discussing his ugly cheap art, browsing through his games, at almost no cost to him (writing a blog post?)

He must have had at least a few hundred sales today, because I saw this blog post on twitter and reddit as well.

That's really quite brilliant.

He even said his title was click-baity later in the article. He wrote this for the attention, and HN gave it to him. This has at least four times as many comments as most game dev articles I see that get linked here.

Fine by me, it's interesting enough :)

I can actually appreciate that for cleverness, but it feels a bit dirty. I'm having a few Spiderweb games on my backlog.
