Yes, because there is a basic assumption. Those projects aren’t consumer-facing games. Those are hobbies. You know it and you are simply arguing in bad faith. I know actual game developers who released their games for free or under a pay-what-you-want model. They refuse to do so again because they can’t support themselves by doing it. I am a game developer and I won’t release my games for free because I need to support myself. There is all the data you need. Find me other data saying otherwise.

this is rich coming from someone who is moving the goal posts.
the plural of “anecdote” is not “data”
It’s more relevant data than you are providing.
your insistence on relevance is giving the lie to your denial about moving the goalposts.
