Bake Time and Production Time = Time into the project. (Again, not compared to each other for the sake of similarities, but for the representation of the point on the timetable the game/cookie has been in production/bake)

The analogy works because the comparison of one stupid complaint pertaining to an incomplete product translates directly into the stupid complaints of another incomplete product.
Cookie and Game = incomplete product.
Bake time and Production time = Time into the project.
No argument there. But let me spell this out for you, you are saying the game is like a cookie, and baking is like production time. That is what your equal signs represent. That is how analogies work. Hopefully you now understand that such an analogy entails you saying a cookie is like a game.

Complaining about a game while being developed -> can lead to change
Complaining about a cookie while being baked -> cannot lead to change

Your analogy said the game is like a cookie, but here we have an instance of why the game is not like a cookie. Which means your analogy is stupid.

You do not take into consideration the attributes of the subject matter being compared, and how they are different. One does not make a good analogy by outright ignoring the characteristics of the subject matter.
Complaining about certain things in the Alpha is like complaining you're getting wet in the rain and you didn't bring an umbrella. (In before "Oh yes, because an umbrella is SO MUCH like the game!")

I will say nothing more on the matter. Good day to you.
It's really not. You are honestly horrible at making analogies and I hope you stop trying to do it, as you clearly don't understand how they work.
