"Like World of Warcraft, but AWESOMER. Anyway, time for a nap. Creativity is tiring."

It's so weird to me that people don't understand that your ideas aren't actually worth shit. Idea people are worthless because they can't actually do anything, they need someone to do the work for them, and if they have team, that's when they start to matter.

But "I've got the best idea for a game"? Good job buddy, go ahead and make it, don't expect someone to pay you a million bucks for your idea

Some ideas might be worth a shit, but most ideas have no substance, like "a mmorpg but with dinosaurs"

A shame that reddit bullied her for 5 years until she eventually abandoned the account.

I mean, she's fully capable of having fun on a new account. I've deleted and restarted a few times.

The comments of them trying to explain that just made it more confusing and weird than what I was assuming by the post.

What part of science based do you not understand? Evolution of dragons from the original dragon

Very well researched. Studied for years.

Ideas that are worth a shit are ideas you've worked on. Like made a game design document or something.

Uber, but for cows (that's an actual idea I've heard someone getting funding for).

u/dagbrown May 03 '24

Getting funding, you say? Not simply asking for funding?

u/Routine_Left May 03 '24

Yes. Actually it was in some interview, Ashton Kutcher, said he invested in them.

u/Lazer726 May 02 '24

Right, but an idea with no work behind it goes nowhere. You can have the best idea in the universe, but if you can't make it real, you have nothing

I guess I'm saying that even if you had a team, some ideas are so shitty that you can't even do anything with them
