I don't think that's a reasonable analysis. Wannabes want to achieve notoriety but aren't prepared to, or can't, do what it takes to get there. A subjective analysis clearly shows they're not going to "make it" - and if they did some introspection they would realise it too. That's a wannabe, and the World does seem to be chock-full of wannabes.

Some people just want to make great games, don't care about getting famous, etc.; they're not wannabes.

Some people want to do a job, get paid; they're not wannabes.

Some want to be famous and rich, and have the chops to go with it; they're not wannabes.

@Karsteki, I don't think it's intended as an insult, it's more "being realistic, most people making games won't succeed because 'everyone' wants to succeed and most don't really have what it takes".
