The apostrophe goes in some places, but not in others; you don't get to pick where. An ellipsis gets three dots; not two dots, and not five dots. There is something called a comma. It is your friend. Nice comma. Happy comma.
Intellectually, I know that if I met an individual game developer on a given day, I'd think he was a cool guy. But tonight, I'd happily drop a nuke on the whole group of them, just so that I was certain I got the one who wrote this.
