Guess its unavoidable. Even Gearbox is doing it after getting acquired by 2K.

What a shit show this whole industry is. Guess Im glad I never manged to get in… this kind of shit was also happening in 08 when I was trying to enter the industry right out of school.

It’s always been a shitshow. I remember when activision laid me off… I bought my first car with the severance and moved industries!

That was well over a decade ago!

It’s sad that it hasn’t improved since then and if anything has actually gotten worse.

GlitterInfection ,

This year is definitely worse.

I don’t expect it to get better until the fed lowers rates. Tech requires basically free money to make progress, and games requires free money and exploitation of young idealists.

The layoffs continued until 2010 in some places, which is when my whole team got axed.

That was not a fun time.

Im very happy to be in Cybersecurity now.

That shit was ridiculous. What a terrible time to be a newbie out of college, for me. Couldn’t compete with recently laid off, highly experienced people who were willing to take jobs at lower pay because it beat not having a job.
