I didn't say people dreamt of becoming "white-collar slaves" or "9-5 drones". I said a lot of of sceners dreamt of working with software development - which of course includes games. The general notion was more along the lines of late-night hacking sessions to put the finishing touches on the magnificent game that would earn you fame, fortune and street cred, not writing API specifications in Word Perfect.

That's true, you didn't say that. In hindsight, I think my interpretation of what you said was a bit off.

No worries. Besides, pointless arguments over minute details is a key component of any scener's life. :)
