Try being a game developer. The whole industry is built on secrets.
the indie community isnt nearly as bad. I have had plenty of conversations with other indie devs and given/received help on various programming and design problems.
I don't know if I said it earlier, but literally someone just name dropped a game I've been out for and the one listing went for 3-4 times the normal rate. Now all new listings are being listed at that rate for BIN. All auctions are currently sitting around the normal going rate, so literally this game may have just jumped in value because of that...
