So real real game developers should ship their own operating system to run the game on. As well as their own hardware. Because all the others are just using someone else's and are lazy.
Sorry, but doing more work just for the sake of doing more work is not something that's impressive. It's merely a waste of time. For .kkrieger the technical achievement of fitting that much in so little space is definitely impressive, but dismissing developers that were using a licensed engine is pointless. Most games are built with finite time and money. If you can build a better game by allocating money somewhere you'd otherwise have spent time at the expense of part of the game, then that's a net win in my eyes, and doesn't diminish the result in the slightest.

I believe there's rules on HN regarding unwarranted snark. You very obviously missed the entire point of what I said so there's no point in trying to explain.
