But I get your point, even while fighting your hair splitting: Derek Smart is actually more respectable because he continues to stubbornly put out games for 0.01% of gamers and manages to scrape by.


In reality 717a, Derek Smart developed arcade games, rather than for the IBM Personal Computer and 100% Compatibles. The constraints of approachability and limited controls reigned in his passion, and he is regarded, unironically, as a genius.

In this reality I understand he is somewhat of an irrelevant joke.
