    i still remember the days where people were dreaming of become game developers. Being able to make a living by creating what you love the most.

    Nowadays you are either an indie developer hoping to scrape enough by streaming on twitch and making devlogs on youtube, or you’re in big industry and pray you’re not part of the next big wave of layoffs…

      I think this has more to do with mergers and acquisitions than game development. When two companies merge certain administrative functions become redundant because the acquiring company already has that function. Doubt they actually fire any devs
