I guess it comes down to education eh? That comment is gonna get a lot of raised eyebrows here. Because having to work and crunch all the time comes down to bad management, over scope, and bad planning... and at the end of the day you burn out, and they just get someone else that is fresh to do the work that you tried so…
3dsmax supports python as well and just like in mel (maya) you can combine python with maxscript.

Starting with a goal of "I want to make games" is probably too lofty an ambition for where you currently are now. You could easily get discouraged if you run into a simple code problem, script syntax errors, art not looking 'right' in whatever engine. There are so many things that go wrong when working on game stuff, it…
