No it's not.

The only way to get better at things is to do them. While losers were playing video games to get their instant gratification, this winner was working towards a skill that they could use and build for the rest of their life.

Out of everyone criticizing him, I'd wager less than 10% have any knowledge at all of game development. They will never get that knowledge because they're losers who are afraid to learn. Learning means admitting you don't know and coming to terms with all the time you've wasted on bullshit.

I miss the days when gaming wasn't cool.

Okay, let's not start throwing around unnecessary insults. Calling people "losers" because they play video games is just insulting your own customer base. I don't know anyone who develops games but doesn't play them. Let's not tar everyone with the same brush.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
