I'm asking a question because I don't know, dude.

If you're asking that question in earnest you're shockingly naive. I think you're being disingenuous.


The quality of your work is only one factor in success, and often it's not remotely the most important one. The world isn't Just, capitalism doesn't necessarily reward quality.

The very idea of what is "good" is a shifty subject to pin down if we're solely using profit as a measure. A game like FarmVille is, gameplay-wise, dull and monotonous, but the fact that it is specifically designed to prey upon basic human compulsions has made Zynga a frankly incredible amount of money. Is FarmVille "good"?

Well it makes money of course it's good. :smugbert:
