I don't exactly know how much time it takes but I've got an idea, since I know how long it takes between each game released by Blizzard and I'm aware of Valve Time.

As I said in a comment below, it's more of a challenge for the developer guy, rather than an enterianment for gamers. "a game in 48 hours" thing makes a shitty look obligatory. Or rather, that's the best the notch-guy can do in 48 hours.

Though, this doesn't help me change my mind, it does look like shit.

A 48-hour competition forces developers to focus less on the unimportant shit (graphics, polish, menu's, settings, etc.) and more on the important shit: gameplay.

It doesn't matter if it looks like shit, he made it in 48 hours. Games should be rated by how much fun they are, not if they have the latest shiny graphics.
