The Role of Rags to Riches in Attracting People to the Game Industry

I was just curious what role you think your rags to riches story might have had on on getting people interested. People are more intrigued that we were not just entrepreneurs started a business with no affiliation to the product so it's that being able to turn a driven hobby into a business which I think is so appealing and they know where real games players were in their early days. Life for me is a game you know work and play is the same I enjoy every minute of it I love the people in it  and will always remain.
