DArtagnan said:My wish is for people to be motivated only by the vision of the work itself. Not the desire to be popular or the desire to be recognised - or to be rich. I'm still not saying you can't make quality with those desires prevalent - I'm saying I'm not interested in such things.
And I've always read from personal growth/success blog writers that the way to success is doing something you're actually passionate about--not just making something everybody would love. So I'm not sure how possible it is to work for three years on a project you're not passionate about. I think the game industry have like the most passionate teams ever, compared to other lines of work (on average, exceptions possible, etc.).
Basically, if you want your game to be successful, you better get people to work on it that are really personally invested in it and love the game/vision/team, etc.
OK here it is: I bought a HTC Desire HD
It seemed like a nice phone to me. I was seriously considering it before I just went with iPhone 4, anyway, since I already had the 3G for the past two years. But the Desire HD looked very nice, indeed.
