Hi Tim, Correct. However, the primary difference between a commercial developer who has no choice what he or she works on and a hobbyist developer is the commercial developer is being paid 60K a year to do that job. The money is the incentive to write that game weather he or she likes the game or not, is bored with it or not, and will put the 8 hours a day into writing the game. If a hobbyist developer is working on a game he or she doesn't have any incentive to continue writing a game other than his or her interest or personal enjoyment. If the enjoyment fades so will the work. Plus if he or she isn't getting paid to that job he or she may have to set the project aside to get paid at a day job that actually pays money.
