My thoughts exactly! I write a lot of web applications and Lotus Notes
business applications, integrating into our Oracle-based Data Warehouse. In
application development, your primary focus is to accomplish the specified
requirements and limit the users in what they can do; keep them in the barn,
basically.
In games development, there IS no barn - you need to anticipate the many,
many things that gamers will do, and I'm betting most games are being played
in ways that their developers hadn't completely anticipated...
Truly, game developers impress me to no end, and at 34 years of age I've
found myself hoping one day to be numbered among them... silly, huh?

Speaking just from my own experience, game programming is harder than the work-related programming I do.
