Wow... Thanks guys. I am - for once - truly humbled by your intelligent, sage thoughts & advice. I guess part of my problem was - once again - my drastically oversized ego coupled with my competitiveness, which was ultimately spurring me to be "THE best," even though it's pretty much not humanly possible for one person any more. Well, not as far as marketing goes, anyway; skill levels are still on a person-to-person basis.
Anyway, you're right, all of you; each new "lower" generation of developers moves forward at their individual pace to become "higher" generations. Since I couldn't possibly design, create & publish a new Crysis-type game by myself, it's ridiculous to even expect it; I may as well try jumping the Empire State Building. ^_^ In the meantime, I'll just go back to jumping my own small hurdles, one by one... Who knows where I'll get in time.
You've helped me greatly, and hopefully helped others who read this thread; thank you!!!
