As someone who considers to start gamedev (purely as a hobby to finally create the single 1 good game) I thought some folks on here would like this.

Afaik the manifesto went kinda viral ?

I wish point 9 came first because I feel like it is necessary to understand some of the previous points. In particular, until I read point 9, my reaction to point 8 was to wonder why we needed more games; it did not seem to me that there was some ideal number of games that might mean we have too many or too few. But framing it as "the art of making games for their own sake can only be kept alive by making games, and so we always need more for as long as we value this art" makes perfect sense.
