This article written by Sean Hood about screenwriting on the latest Conan the Barbarian script or lack-thereof could very well be about a lot of the creative ventures and the personal motivations that keep people doing what they are doing.  I had a somewhat similar experience to this working in the games industry and it’s always interesting to see different perspectives on various disciplines with the same hope, blind faith, stupidity or conviction.  And we all keep doing the things we do because that’s just what we do.
