Well sorry, but it wasn't obvious

I still think it's a bit condescending because at the end of the day, especially in indie games, there are less constraints of maintainability, you just want to ship something that works fast. On top of that, the performance constraints force you to do things perceived as heresy in other areas (global singletons, functions you can call from anywhere, not catching any exception...)

And finally, since when you're doing a game you're often trying to do something innovative and very specific, you can't really just pick a book about design and implement it.

So, I think it's not about "caring" or not, it's just that it's an useless overhead
