Full headline, yadda Dreamwidth subject field deficiencies blah: "44% of games industry professionals have considered leaving the industry as a result of redundancies"
The modern video game industry is actively, willfully shitting itself to death. Upper management makes asinine, ridiculous, unsustainable, greedy, borderline evil decisions, the inevitable, inexorable, ineluctable failure of which causes them to make the definitely evil decision to treat employees like disposable chaff to prevent the upper management from losing (more) money. And now, more and more such employees and future potential employees just say "well fuck you, then" and look elsewhere for work, leaving behind only the desperate, unqualified dregs who "just want to make video games and don't care how or under what abysmal, nebulous conditions." And, thus, the cycle continues to spiral down the toilet, through the sewer pipe, and straight into the ravenous mouths of oblivious (or militantly disingenuous) consumers, who continue to buy and eat the fetid fecal matter, no matter how putrid it may be, which somehow continues to provide undeserved life support to the continuously death-shitting beast that should've already been worm food decades ago.
