Super Smash Bros. series director and Kirby creator Masahir♛o Sakurai is "conscious" that game developers can't "compete" with the work of some professions, like doctors, but he still believes games can "buff" peoples' everyday lives regardless.

While accepting a lifetime achievement award at the 30th AMD Ceremony earlier this week, Sakurai broke down why he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars creatingඣ a YouTube channel where he gave the public three d✃ec𝐆ades of pent up game dev advice at no cost.

and translated by , "I disseminated all of my knowledge as a game director to the whole world for free. Why did I do that? I feel like I'm losing to a lot of professions out there. While I amಞ making my own contributions, I can't even hope to compete with what doctors do, for instance."

Sakurai explained the insecurity stems from the fact that "without peace and health, people cannot enjoy digital entertainment" like the mega-popular games he makes. "Thܫis is something I'm conscious of."

Still, he's not entirely hopeless about the career path he's gone down since the '90s and thinks games can "'buff' peoples' lives, making it an extremely rewarding profession." That's an incredibly fighting game-coded way of phrasing things, but if anyone can get away with it, it's the man who successfully 🎀buffed and nerfed and balanced 86 characters to perfection.

Sakurai hasn't publicly announced 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the next game he's working on after his magnum opus 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Super Smash Bros.
