With the games your making, what do you fear most?

Is it not making any money, never finishing, releasing something broken?

Personally, I am most afraid of releasing something that no one cares about. I would rather make something that everyone hates with a passion, because at least there is passion. If a player feels absolutely nothing or doesn't even care to look, I feel like I failed.

What does everyone here think?

Yeeaeaa. GDC panelists are always going off at how bad indie game devs are at marketing. We could make the greatest game in the world, but if nobody knows about it then its worthless Sad. I feel ya

I'd prefer people buying more of my games to owing me or not owing me things.
