I'm No Game Designer.

I just read Derek's(omni's) post on Game Designer's Tax, and it got me thinking: why didn't I become a game designer/programmer/ whatever, like some members on Shoryuken are?

A lot of people on the forums aspire to reach such a goal, but I realized that I did not want to go that route. I feel that I may lose some of the enjoyment of the game. It's definitely like that sometimes in Web Development. I do so much development work on websites, I don't really want to do any other work, whether it be past work on Shoryuken or present work like Texas Showdown. But I must, so I toil on.

I always encounter the same scenarios when I think about it; will I start to break down a game to actually look for design flaws and bugs? Will I be developing so much that I do not get to enjoy other games? This is my feeling... what is yours?
