And the game that inspired him to do it was Ico. AND he got to share a stage with his idol and talk about video games.

Lmao, Ico's the last game I'd think of if I were to guess the inspiration behind Souls games

Sakurai created and directed the first Kirby game when he was 19. I always had so much respect for him for that.
And I used it as motivation when I vowed to release my own video game by that age when I was 14 or so, and here I am at 24 with nothing at all to show for it.

Japanese business structure is different.
Isaiah Moore
Yes, it is incredibly more rigid than that of Europe and America.

You can't let that sort of shit stop you man. Look at Miyazaki even. Didn't get into the industry until he was in his 30s. Just gotta stop making excuses and saddle that fucking horse.
Sebastian Bennett
It's not like today is the same when he was 19.
Back then, there weren't as much game developers as there is now. Today we're saturated with a lot, and the internet is filled with media you nor I will never even consume or even know about.

they give anyone a chance as long as you are willing to be at the bottom
Jaxon Anderson
you haven't given up, right?
don't give up user
I believe in you
James Williams
No... I haven't actually. I will release something eventually, even if it kills me. I want to give something back for all the happy memories and moments vidya have given me over the years and I want to add to the collective of this hobby even if it's something small. I'll do it even if no one plays it, I'll manifest my dreams.
Someday.

thats literally what you do when you make good money. You save it up and then quit your shitty but good paying job for something better once money isn't really needed. At that point youre breaking your back for money you don't especially need. He did what he should have done and what we should all aspire to do. Except not with vidya tho lel.

Seriously what the hell is taking them so long? It’s would easily sell another million.

Not to take away from Sakurai's accomplishments but I think it was easier back then. If only because since it wasn't as established an industry as today, and since there was more of that idea of getting hired and being taught, instead of today where even for an entry level job you're supposed to already be better than 30 year old veterans, and the fact that budgets weren't sky high meant you could just experiment. The tools they used were obviously harder to use, which forced a lot of creativity. Now you're given the world in dev tools and we simply use it to repeat the old formulas.

It's a sony property. They have no reason to put it on PC.
Anthony Sanders
It’s not even that good
John Murphy
It's a Sony-owned and funded IP. From made the game, but they were effectively just contractors for it.
Brody Collins
It was 100% a Miyazaki game. Sony just financed it and helped with optimisation for PS4.
Adrian Hill
pretty cool actually
