This doesn't even make sense as an insult. I could understand if other gamedevs were trashing it, or game journos who failed out of game dev were trashing it.
But since when was it a requirement for consumers of a product to be skilled in making that kind of product? You can criticise music without having musical talent, you can criticize ugly cars without being a talented car designer, etc. You're the dev, you're the one who's supposed to have a modicum of talent or at least competence in doing what you're paid to do!

It makes more sense when you realize this is from the mouth of a mentally deranged man who can’t even look in a mirror without wanting to rope himself
