Many people think they should want to be a game director or creative director on a medium to large team.

Reality is that it takes a particularly warped human being. Most people aren't that perverse shape. Nor would they want to be if they knew what it entailed. 😓

"Everyone needs to touch the stove"

Happy to tell them it is hot. And how heat works. Ways to identify and avoid touching hot stoves.

But 99.99% of that will be ignored.

Until they touch the stove, scream in agony, and out of their own will and insight, re-stumble upon a thing that was said to them a dozen times. But now they are seeing it with fresh eyes.

Even then, they'll understand 20% and fill in the rest with some batshit theory of their own. Which is a vast improvement!
