Silicon Valley high risk bets are bets made on market and solution.
In this case, all elements are well known: Market, distribution, effort, etc. It's a well established market with a lot of different players (indies to huge studios).
In this case, you will have to outperform the big studios. Basically you will have to compose a basketballteam and compete in the NBA. Good luck!
Any experienced game developer can see that this is the Dunning Kruger effect in action. Nothing new perse, but the new thing is that ycombinator is going along in this delusion.
Fair game. I don't know practically anything of game dev so I believe your explanation. The video itself seemed to be mostly critical about the lack of funding to fulfill their promise so thought that was the main problem here.
