This. It's hard as an artist to come to the realization that nobody really gives a shit about your art until it's mass market friendly.
ITT: How DARE he tell us how he really feels!? He needs to shut up and take fame like a man!
ITT: People have an opinion about a person attitude and does´t really have to be aligned with yours.
That´s a thin skin life vision right there. This guy should be happy about the good things he had achieve and leave this " the world doesn´t really understand me " 15 year old attitude for fuck´s sake.
I´m sorry but this is too much.

But I thought fame and fortune would make all my inscrutable little insecurities disappear
what is this
Nope, you do not get to play that card when you used "for fuck's sake" and "15 year old attitude" in the same sentence. Talking about our own flaws and faults is not childish behavior, trying to hide them is.
this guy is saying that he's emotionally suffering and your response is "well you're successful and have money"? great, that doesn't mean a thing
Try working 20 years in a dead end government job with NO recognition, see if the lack of acknowledgement treats you better.
I get to play that card when he made it public on the internet. And talking about your your own faults and toughts on such a personal issue by throwing it out in the wild is pretty much useless, and childish.

Lmao thisWow.
And I thought the game was pretentious

It will be a cold day in imaginary hell before I sympathize with something like this.
Except you have no idea how useless it is for the the guy? We aren't all the same dude, the way we experience and process our lives is different for everyone.
That much is true, but How do you think this is serving him any good purpose?
How do you expect this is going to help him?

A stupid and imbecilic opinion to have, uninformed by the real world and pretty much fits the profile of your average 15 year old youtube commenter who's never left his mom's basement.
I guess you all are right; it's always better to try to empathize with others and give them the benefit of the doubt. And I wasn't trying to say that Davey Wreden is a bad person or the second coming of Phil Fish. But if I have a finite amount of emotional energy, my extra sympathy is going to go to person B above, not person A.
Is this common in other forms of media? I don't hear much about indie musicians/directors/producers/writers, but then again, I don't follow those industries.
You seem pretty mature by calling me names, uh?
Perhaps you can throw some light into the subject instead of personal insults, so you can show your knowledge about real life to a poor ignorant pubescent.
You want a deep feeling of inadequacy which cannot be fixed by external accomplishments?
Why does one have a finite amount of sympathy or empathy? In practical terms, what about Wreden's situation requires "extra" sympathy over and above the government file clerk? Is he demanding money or volunteer work or people to email him and say nice things? Is it not possible to see both and think "Shit, that sucks, hope things work out for the guy" about each? In what way does one preclude the other?
It is fairly common in any other industry; issues such as self-doubt, imposter syndrome, becoming addicted to validation, are all relatively prevalent, though it's often considered a social taboo by people who are too ignorant to know any better, as evidenced by this thread.
I genuinely do not understand what he's saying about Papers, Please. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks!
I'm always surprised when a creator of something incredibly funny turns out to be pretty solemn person in real-life. I guess I foolishly expect people who make me laugh to laugh often themselves.

Now let's play "who lacks empathy?"!
Lists without Papers, Please come off as bullshit to him? I think?I genuinely do not understand what he's saying about Papers, Please. Can someone explain this to me? Thanks!
Why would I need to inform you of anything? You got what you deserved by posting your idiotic opinions and thoughts on the internet just like this Dave guy.
he's insecure about his ability to produce good work, just because you have a bunch of people telling you it's great that doesn't just disappear. external validation isn't a substitute for real self-confidence.

he's saying that seeing goty lists without papers please makes him think the whole process is bullshit
