Yes. But you can prove "uber for cats" doesn't work with 5 people. Not 100 people, 3 years later. Canceling a game is more like a funeral.

This comes off as very dismissive of startups.

Do you honestly believe they are all 5 person companies doing frivolous things?

In a start-up you usually get a significant payout on success. Do game developers also get up to a few million dollars bonus when the game is a success? I doubt that. And that is where the devs are cheated. You are paid like a normal job, but you do a start-up.

Hmm, so a game developer is like a startup factory?

I think the real reason he/she's hinting at is that men tend to be more passionate about games than startups. (I know several dozen young people who play board games regularly, and they include about 1.5 women).
