summary
Lists concrete milestones and numbers: started at age 12 and after six years is 18, contributed interview segments to Ninja Pizza Girl, crunched three weeks to ship a browser game All Hail the Spider God on itch io which hits over 800 plays and earns Rock Paper Shotgun notice, and has bylines on Kotaku and others; argues that harassment and expendability plus passion as self‑exploitation compound for marginalized creators and that burnout, not abstract ethics, drives the rejection of games journalism.
