The reason I cared about service was because I decided to start pursuing the lightworker path.
The next game I released was Dweep, which was a bigger success than any games I released before that. My primary motivation was to make something creative that people would enjoy. I even gave it lowball pricing for the initial release (only $9.95), so more people could afford it. I just wanted to share something unique with the world. I let go of any concerns about success or money. I went back to my roots of what attracted me to game dev in the first place -- pure creativity.
I was dead broke when I started the game and had to scramble to pay my bills, but within a year I was doing fine financially. The game also won a few awards and got many positive reviews.
I really wasn't thinking about polarity at the time, but this was definitely a major shift for me. The shift in my thinking allowed me to create a better quality product.
