The video game industry hated me.

I was like the Darth Vader.

So it didn't help either.

Exactly.

They said, you're not real games.

We're never going to give you an award or invite you to GDC.

I was like, that's cool.

None of my users go to GDC.

Yeah, and there was a great tweet that I loved by this guy yesterday.

He has some company called Tiny...

or something?

I loved his tweet and he referenced the courage to be disliked and he said it was a huge turning point for him when he stopped trying to be liked and he stopped trying to be like Warren Buffett and worry about his reputation, basically his resume.

I'm like, yes, that's my career and that's what I advise people.

I'm like, burn your resume.

Don't look for respect from your peers.

I say if you're truly ambitious...

Do not look for respect from the people around you because you will not get it if you're doing things differently than them because they don't like that.

I mean, you're supposed to stick to this one mold.

And if you do something different, just like you were saying, Sam, and it works, it makes them question themselves.

So they kind of don't want to see you
