If I had then I couldn't have used the word compromise
Ah yes I thought of that, and you are correct. But I thought I'd point out the whole sentence for the benefit of other readers. For me it's a compromise I'm fine with because there are other rewards... Sure, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
I wouldn't say that - going outside in the sun for a walk is worthwhile and it's easy (in the summer), but I know what you are saying ;-) I also think that if you compromise and make a game for profit and passion and make a big effort and it does well then that's worthwhile as well.
