this doesn’t prove anyone ever needs to be paid to make something. a single counter example disproves the claim.

github shows a hundred thousand repositories for the query “hangman”. assuming 10% of them are false positives it’s still a great number.

there are over one hundred fifty thousand results on github for “tictactoe”.

just how many paid games do you think there are, by the way?

“snake game” returns over one hundred twenty thousand results on github.
